James: With Gallen and Kelly not available for game one, I was dubious the Diamondbacks could win the series. However, I felt that, if they did, it would indeed be a sweep. If the Diamondbacks could win with a Pfaadt/bullpen game against Burnes, I liked their chances of then coming out and taking game two. Peralta’s ability to generate strikeouts bothered me, but I expected the Diamondbacks to be able to put pressure on him by creating havoc on the bases. I was wrong about how the Diamondbacks would win the series. I expected speed and pressure to play a big part.
