\"\"<\/a>The Arizona Diamondbacks scored one of the biggest upsets in baseball and one of the biggest comeback since the 2004 Boston Red Sox, officially marking their second World Series appearance after beating the reigning National League Champion Philadelphia Phillies.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Diamondbacks, have had a tough past few years, as they finished above .500 this year for the first time since 2019. They finished 84-78 this year making the Wild Card and positioned to play the Brewers.<\/span><\/p>\n

While no one was surprised by their sweep of the Brewers, the entire MLB was dumbfounded when they swept the powerful Los Angeles Dodgers to make their first NLCS appearance since 2007. Everyone was thinking, \u201cOk, that was fun but they definitely won\u2019t beat the Phillies”.<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, it looked like that was going to be the case, with Philadelphia taking a 2-0 lead over Arizona. It looked like the run was about to end, until the series went to Phoenix, where the Dbacks took the next two games to even the series and then winning again in Game 6 to force a game 7. This upset has shocked MLB fans across the country as many had poised the Phillies to win the World Series.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Their opponent is going to be tough (Texas Rangers), but they have more of chance as the Houston Astros lost the ALCS in Game 7 (Not so easy when you\u2019re not playing the Yankees, huh?) Which is a completely different article for later.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Diamondbacks, have certainly made the playoffs entertaining to watch in the National League, and even if they don\u2019t win it all (but from the show they\u2019ve given us, they might actually win the whole thing), they have certainly proved everyone wrong. Not to mention their squad is pretty young, so this could possibly be the start of a future dynasty. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
