Zac Gallen (17-9 W-L, 3.47 ERA) vs. Bobby Miller (11-4 W-L, 3.76 ERA)
Zac Gallen stands out as an important component of Arizona’s rotation this season. Boasting an impressive 17-9 win-loss record and 3.47 ERA, Gallen has consistently delivered quality starts in key games while managing to maintain an incredible 1.12 WHIP mark for his 210 innings pitched; his 220 strikeout count indicates his ability to challenge hitters yet also dominate them – qualities which will prove vital in facing off against powerful lineups like that of Los Angeles Dodgers’ offense.
Bobby Miller has been an incredible weapon for the Dodgers this season. With only 12 homers given up this season and an 11-4 win-loss record and 3.76 ERA over 124.1 innings pitched, Miller has proven his worth against an Arizona Diamondbacks lineup that exploits mistakes. Miller boasts 119 strikeouts to challenge and potentially neutralize Arizona hitters as his ability could prove crucial in leveling this series. As they look to even it up once more, much will fall on Miller to provide an encore performance of his regular-season accomplishments.

Arizona’s 1-5 SU record against LA is cause for alarm.
