The Phillies and Diamondbacks have announced their first two pitchers coming to the mounds in games 1 and 2.

They aren’t surprising.

For the Phillies, it will be Zach Wheeler, who would’ve pitched game 5 of the NLDS had it come to that in Game 1. Then, it will be Aaron Nola, who pitched games 1 and 4 of the series versus the Braves. He comes alive in the playoffs.

For the Diamondbacks, Zac Gallen, the ace, was in Cy Young consideration in Game 1.
