At time of writing, only the pitching matchup for the first game has been announced, and either way, pitching matchup analysis is probably less important at Coors than it is just about anywhere else, I thought I’d take five hundred words or so to really lay out the path the Diamondbacks have left to face, both personally and through the eyes of the Padres, Mets and Brewers.
Up first, of course, the Diamondbacks have these three games in Colorado, followed by four in Milwaukee. We throw the term “must win” around far too often, and frequently far too early, but you do not get more must win than these games in Denver.
