Prediction:

It’s way too early to break out the phrase “must-win,” but it would be very disappointing if the Diamondbacks did not get at least two wins this series. They have the top of their rotation, home-field advantage and are playing against one of the worst teams in baseball. This is a very favorable series for the Diamondbacks; one that should see them win two out of three.
