LAD: Chris Taylor (4.8 bWAR)

ARI: A.J. Pollock (2.7 bWAR)

Chris Taylor has been the Dodgers X-factor this season. He has burst on the scene and has made up for Pederson’s poor play.

Taylor hit .288 with a .354 OBP, 21 home runs and 72 RBI in 140 games. Taylor plays a great center field and a spectacular left field.

Pollock’s season, due to injuries and poor performance, has not gone the way he wanted, but he is a gold glove center fielder who is the D-backs hottest hitter. Over his final 17 regular season games, Pollock hit .328 with 5 home runs and 17 RBI. This season against LA, he hit .277 with 5 doubles, 3 home runs and 9 RBI

Do not be surprised if Pollock plays a huge role.

Slight edge: Dodgers
