The Dodgers were 8-5 against the Snakes this season, with Los Angeles taking the last five meetings, including a three-game sweep at home and a two-game sweep at Chase Field. This is the second postseason matchup between these division rivals, with the Blue Crew sweeping the D-Backs in their first meeting in 2017.
