Corbin Carroll has been the star of this Snakes lineup. Carroll is the front-runner to win NL Rookie of the Year and for a good reason. Carroll ended the year batting .285 while leading the team with one hundred 61 hits.

Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Milwaukee Brewers Pick
Milwaukee holds a massive pitching advantage in game one.
Pfaadt is not the ace of this rotation but due to Zac Gallen and Meril Kelly having to pitch over the weekend series he gets the nod tonight. Pfaadt will be making his first playoff start on the road where he was 1-4 during the regular season with a 5.04 ERA.
Burnes brings playoff experience into play and has diced up this Arizona lineup. The D-backs are hitting .225 in 89 at-bats.
Milwaukee has one of the best bullpens in baseball which will be a huge advantage in this series.
