No, but it is a very tall task, especially with what is sure to be a deafening Phillies crowd. Philadelphia is comfortable with one of their two aces on the mound in Aaron Nola, who has been nothing short of incredible throughout the playoffs. </p><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><p> The Dbacks will counter with Merrill Kelly, who, in his NLCS Game 2 start, allowed three home runs, accounting for three runs in 5 2/3 innings. The Diamondbacks need Kelly to have a better performance in Game 6 if there is any hope of forcing a Game 7. </p><p> [catena-widget book="fanduel" /] </p><h2> Odds for Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Philadelphia Phillies Game 6 </h2><p> With Nola on the mound at home, it is no shock that the Phillies opened as the moneyline favorites in Game 6. As more money comes in, though, keep an eye on the live odds below, as they can change continually all the way up until the first pitch. </p><h2> Updated NLCS series price </h2><p> The updated series price for the NLCS heavily favors the Phillies, and it is no surprise as they only have to win one out of the next two games, both of which are home. Granted, you can get some great value on a wager for the Dbacks series price to win the NLCS. </p><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td><strong> NLCS series price </strong></td><td><a href="https://hub.na.catenacloud.io/api/v1/h-links/0a66abab-5680-4d1a-9687-0bc3441d1a75?name=fanduel-sportsbook-tsn" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><strong> FanDuel </strong></a></td><td><a href="https://hub.na.catenacloud.io/api/v1/h-links/0f3621b7-f9e4-4960-90ea-ceb81fd21472?name=caesars-sportsbook-tsn" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><strong> Caesars </strong></a></td><td><a href="https://hub.na.catenacloud.io/api/v1/h-links/309b84f9-e686-4e64-9506-409b404d108d?name=betmgm-sportsbook-tsn" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><strong> BetMGM </strong></a></td><td><strong><a href="https://hub.na.catenacloud.io/api/v1/h-links/8cbb9a02-2e3b-40ad-8b7b-970f7cf17755?name=betrivers-sportsbook-tsn" rel="nofollow"> BetRivers </a></strong></td></tr><tr><td> Diamondbacks </td><td> +570 </td><td> +500 </td><td> +525 </td><td><a href="https://hub.na.catenacloud.io/api/v1/h-links/8cbb9a02-2e3b-40ad-8b7b-970f7cf17755?name=betrivers-sportsbook-tsn" rel="nofollow"> +600 </a></td></tr><tr><td> Phillies </td><td> -820 </td><td><a href="http://hub.na.catenacloud.io/api/v1/h-links/0f3621b7-f9e4-4960-90ea-ceb81fd21472?name=caesars-sportsbook-tsn" rel="nofollow"> -714 </a></td><td> -750 </td><td> -910 </td></tr></tbody></table><p><strong> Also read: <a href="https://www.sportingnews.com/us/betting/news/world-series-mvp-odds-harper-alvarez-seager-favored-betting/3e76a54e5099c3aa8efb83d0" rel="nofollow"> World Series MVP odds </a></strong></p><h3> Arizona Diamondbacks betting news </h3><p> The Dbacks have only secured two wins in the series thus far, and it's easy to see the specific reasons behind the victory in their wins. Arizona won Game 3 when behind an excellent starting pitching performance by Brandon Pfaadt. And the team scored six runs in its Game 4 win — the only game in the NLCS&nbsp;where the Dbacks scored more than three runs. </p><p> It is simple: the Dbacks have not been able to win without scoring over their average or getting an outstanding pitching performance. Facing Nola in Game 6 will likely require the Diamondbacks to do one of two things to win the game. </p><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><p> Option 1: Merrill Kelly outduels Nola. </p><p> Option 2: Battle against Nola and knock him out early. Do damage against the Philadelphia bullpen. </p><p> Option 1 may be a tough ask, and option 2 is not great, either, as the Phillies bullpen has been excellent throughout the playoffs. Option 2 is what Arizona should be fighting for, though, as all it takes is one Phillies reliever to have an off night. The Dbacks should fight and grind against Nola as best as possible, take pitches early and try to get some long at-bats. </p><p> If they can force Nola out of the game by the sixth inning and still be within a couple runs, they can get after one of the four relievers the Phillies would have to use in the sixth through ninth innings. </p><h2> Philadelphia Phillies betting news </h2><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><p> The Phillies are in a great spot after their Game 5 win. Back at home for Game 6 and a potential Game 7, all Philadelphia has to do is win one of their next two games to clinch a trip to the World Series. Philadelphia has to be confident going into Game 6 with Aaron Nola on the mound. </p><p> Nola has three playoff starts, earning a win in each game. In 18.2 innings, Nola has allowed only two earned runs, with 19 strikeouts. Nola is having one the best stretches of his career on the mound, and even when runners get on he has found ways to erase them, pitching out of almost every tough spot he has been in during the playoffs. </p><p> In addition, the Philadelphia bullpen has perhaps been the best of any team in the playoffs and got a day of rest with a travel day on Sunday. Expect Philadelphia to be aggressive and go after an NLCS-clinching win in Game 6. </p><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><p> [catena-widget book="betmgm" /] </p><h2> Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Philadelphia Phillies player props: Game 6 </h2><p> There are some really solid value odds for props one Game 6 at <a href="http://hub.na.catenacloud.io/api/v1/h-links/309b84f9-e686-4e64-9506-409b404d108d?name=betmgm-sportsbook-tsn" rel="nofollow"> BetMGM Sportsbook </a> . </p><h3> NLCS Game 6 pitching props </h3><ul><li> Merrill Kelly <ul><li> 5.5 Strikeouts over (+105) / under (-140) </li><li> 2.5 Earned runs over (+110) / under (-155) </li><li> 14.5 Outs recorded over(-160) / under (+110) </li></ul></li><li> Aaron Nola <ul><li> 5.5 Strikeouts over (-140) / under (+105) </li><li> 1.5 Earned runs over (-135) / under (-105) </li><li> 16.5 Outs recorded over(-115) / under (-125) </li></ul></li></ul><h3> NLCS Game 6 batting props </h3><ul><li> Bryce Harper <ul><li> 0.5 Hits over (-185) / under (+135) </li><li> 0.5 RBIs over (+190) / under (-250) </li><li> 0.5 runs over (+105) / under (-140) </li></ul></li><li> Christian Walker <ul><li> 0.5 Hits over (-165) / under (+130) </li><li> 0.5 RBIs over (+190) / under (-250) </li><li> 0.5 runs over (+160) / under (-210) </li></ul></li><li> Corbin Carroll <ul><li> 0.5 Hits over (-175) / under (+130) </li><li> 0.5 RBIs over (+290) / under (-450) </li><li> 0.5 runs over (+130) / under (-165) </li></ul></li><li> Nick Castellanos <ul><li> 0.5 Hits over (-155) / under (+120) </li><li> 0.5 RBIs over (+200) / under (-275) </li><li> 0.5 runs over (+180) / under (-250) </li></ul></li><li> Trea Turner <ul><li> 0.5 Hits over (-275) / under (+200) </li><li> 0.5 RBIs over (+170) / under (-225) </li><li> 0.5 runs over (-105) / under (-125) </li></ul></li></ul><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><h2> Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Philadelphia Phillies prediction: Phillies clinch NLCS in Game 6 </h2><p> Everything is setting up for the Phillies to clinch the NLCS in Game 6: Nola on the mound, a fresh bullpen after a day of rest and a lineup that has gotten excellent production from top to bottom throughout the NLCS. Philadelphia will also want to avoid a Game 7, as the Diamondbacks would likely start Brandon Pfaadt, who stifled the Phillies in his Game 3 start. </p><p> Expect Philadelphia to come out swinging and to provide Nola some early run support. If that happens and Nola can breathe easy, it is hard to imagine the Dbacks getting enough runs to stay in this game. </p></div></body>
