Los Angeles Dodgers: Three predictions for NLDS game three

For the first time in their five-year playoff streak, the Los Angeles Dodgers head into game three of the NLDS up two games to zero; which is even sweeter against the Diamondbacks.

Fans of the Los Angeles Dodgers are feeling real good heading into football Sunday. With an off day, the Dodgers are heading to Arizona to square off against the Diamondbacks in the extremely loud Chase Field. Los Angeles is riding all the momentum in the world, and as long as they can stay within themselves, should have no problem winning this series.

Chase Field presents a difficult place for any team to play. With a great fan base and an enclosed dome, the sounds of the fans plays a huge role in the performance of both teams. The same rallies the Dodgers have won’t be met with loud cheers. Everything the Diamondbacks do will evoke screams.

Well, it may not be at black and white as it appears to be. Los Angeles has one of the best travelling fan bases in baseball, especially in Chase Field. Phoenix is not that far from LA, and personally, I know quite a few Dodger fans that live in Arizona. Dodger fans have been louder than Diamondback fans before, and that could make a huge difference in the outcome.

Just imagine how heart-wrenching it would be for Zack Greinke to let up a leadoff home run from Chris Taylor and be met with a cheer from the Dodger faithful; the same Dodger faithful he abandoned.

Regardless, games three and four are shaping out to be must-watch television. All baseball fans should be tuning their TV’s to TBS to see these three bold predictions shape out.
