After their 2001 World Series victory over the New York Yankees, the D’backs have faced challenges in the playoffs. In the last 24 years, Arizona has made six playoff appearances with a record of 19-20. They have won four series and lost five, triumphing in the NLDS four times and the NLCS once.

The last time the Arizona Diamondbacks won a playoff series was in 2007, when they swept the Chicago Cubs in the NLDS. However, they were subsequently swept by the eventual NL champion Colorado Rockies in the best-of-seven series. The Rockies then went on to be swept in the World Series by the Boston Red Sox.

After 16 years, the 2023 Arizona Diamondbacks, with a record of 84-78, are poised to shock the baseball world and ignite excitement among Arizona sports betting apps as they kick off their series against the Brewers. Their strong performance in the final stretch of the season, going 14-12 from September 1 until their last regular season defeat to the Astros, indicates that they are a team capable of anything this week.
