Clutch Points: Take the Phillies over the Diamondbacks in Game 3

Bryan Logan writes: "In the pitching match-up, the Phillies will have a small edge. Ranger Suarez has been better in the playoffs than Brandon Pfaadt and was better in the regular season. Suarez also has a lot of post-season experience to lean on. Last year he pitched in five games, going 14.2 innings with a 1.23 ERA in the playoffs. Further, the Phillies are hitting better. They have more power in the lineup, are getting on base more, and scoring more. The Diamondbacks have had a great run so far, but without a perfect pitching performance from Pfaadt, they will see their magical post-season run starting to end. The prediction in this Phillies-Diamondbacks game is the Phillies continue their slugfest in a big win."
