Maybe we'll all be shocked and we'll get a seven game barn burner with six extra innings games and tons of lead changes. Given how much these playoffs have already sucked though, I'm skeptical it'll all turn around now with a mediocre team playing the streakiest team in the league.

This Diamondbacks team reminds me a lot of the mid-teens Royals squads (yes, the one the beat the powerful Jays). Not a tremendous amount of power, but a lot of contact bats, team aggressiveness, a workable staff, and a lockdown bullpen. A team that plays baseball well.
Also, the World Series is going to be played entirely on artificial turf, in 2023, certainly not the most aesthetic of venues around.
