The National League Championship Series is set.
Unsurprisingly, Philadelphia opened as a heavy favorite to make their second straight World Series, sitting at -178 to take the series from Arizona.
The D-backs, who have upset the Brewers and Dodgers en route to the NLCS, are just +150 to make the World Series and are, by far, the biggest long shot to win it all. The D-backs, who won just 84 games during the regular season, took two straight games from Milwaukee before sweeping the mighty Dodgers in the NLDS. The Phillies made quick work of the Marlins and then beat the 104-win Braves in four games during the NLDS for the second straight year.
Philadelphia has the deepest pitching staff, bigger bats and more star power, but the frisky D-backs have a ton of speed up and down their lineup and play incredible defense, so they can’t be counted out. But the D-backs’ Cinderella run is bound to end, and in a longer series, I like the more well-rounded team to win, so stick with the Fightin’ Phils.
