The National League Championship Series between the Philadelphia Phillies and Arizona Diamondbacks is tied 2-2, with the D-backs winning the two most recent games at home, Chase Field after losing two games at Citizens Bank Park.
The Philadelphia Phillies won the first two games at home by 5-3 and 10-0 in what was a display of absolute and almost perfect power, but things fell apart during Game 3 and 4 when they lost 1-2 and 5-6 against the Diamondbacks.
But the good news for the Phillies is that if they win this game they return home to play the last two games of the series (game seven only if necessary) and that would be a huge advantage for them.
