Arizona Diamondbacks are red hot. They are playing their way into the postseason with an 11 game winning streak. In any other year, Arizona would have another division title to add to the five they already have as a franchise (Side note: How dumb is that Diamondbacks have been around since the mid-90’s and have more division titles than the Brewers?). But the Los Angeles Dodgers’ torrent pace makes that impossible. Although, JD Martinez put a licking on Dodgers’ pitching delivering four home runs on Monday night including three straight innings with a home run.

It’s safe to say that Martinez’s deal paid off for Arizona as he’s helping lead the charge for this team who is as talented as any team in the National League. I feel like they’re slept on due to playing in Los Angeles’s division, but they have a ton of firepower. To me, they may be the second-best team in the National League. I know things can change, but if you look at the combination of pitching and hitting, they’re right there with the Dodgers. Martinez is a free agent this winter and boy is he going to get paid. What a year for him thus far with 34 home runs including four on Monday.
