The Philadelphia Phillies open the NLCS on Monday as the clear favorite to advance back to the World Series.
Philadelphia can utilize the same components in the NLCS against the Arizona Diamondbacks that it used to win five playoff series in the last two years.
The Phillies have one of the best pitching duos left in the postseason in Zack Wheeler and Aaron Nola and they have a lineup, led by Bryce Harper, that have come up with several clutch hits.
Arizona should not be counted out in the NLCS. The Diamondbacks eliminated two of the three best teams in the National League so far this postseason.
