The World Series moves west to Phoenix on Monday with the host Arizona Diamondbacks having earned a split, thanks to a 9-1 win over the Texas Rangers on Saturday night in Arlington, Texas. The underdog Diamondbacks potentially were two outs from a sweep of Games 1 and 2 were it not for the Rangers' Corey Seager hitting a game-tying, two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth inning in Friday's opener. The Rangers rallied for a 6-5 win in 11 innings, but it was all Diamondbacks in Game 2 on Saturday. Monday's Game 3 will feature three-time Cy Young Award winner and eight-time All-Star Max Scherzer starting for Texas. Rookie right-hander Brandon Pfaadt, in turn, will make the fifth postseason start of his career (all this year) for Arizona. Scherzer, 39, is 0-1 with a 9.45 earned run average in two postseason starts against the Houston Astros this month. He has totaled 6 2/3 innings this postseason, but he has pitched 140 innings over 29 career playoff appearances (24 starts) with a 7-8 record and 3.86 ERA. We think Scherzer actually shows up and pitches well, and the Rangers show up here in Arizona. Let's roll with Texas on Monday.
