In Game 1 of the NLCS, the Phillies face Yu Darvish, who they beat in late June on a day Didi Gregorius and Odubel Herrera hit fourth and sixth. Both teams are much, much different now.
The teams look much different since their last series ended on June 26. Didi Gregorius was in the cleanup spot and Odubel Herrera hit sixth against Darvish that day. A third of the Padres' at-bats went to players no longer on their roster.
Grisham, who hit just .184 in the regular season, has been the Padres' hottest hitter in the playoffs. He's 8 for 21 with three homers and has reached base in 14 of 27 plate appearances. Nola has also done damage from the bottom of the order, going 8 for 21 with a pair of doubles.Hader has been money in the playoffs with four scoreless appearances. He's put just two of 15 batters on base and struck out seven.
San Diego's most oft-used reliever so far in the postseason has been rookie right-hander Robert Suarez, who had a 2.27 ERA during the regular season. He's pitched six shutout innings in the playoffs. Like Hader, his fastball averages 98 mph. Suarez also has an above-average changeup to beat lefties, who've hit just .181 against him with no home runs.
