Dano: Well, of course, because it’s likely gonna be a close-quarters knife fight, especially that last series versus the Padres. Mainly, it’s the starting pitching I’m worried about. I feel good with Kelly on the mound, and pretty good with Pfaadt, especially after his outing on Thursday. But the rest? Yeah, not so much. Deep breaths.
Makakilo: Two concerns:
1. The Diamondbacks need to avoid injuries, so that they are at their best in the playoffs.
2. The better path forward is for the Diamondbacks to win the series against the underdog Giants, who are in the role of spoiler.
