Snakes alive. Two simple words printed on a sheet of white paper with no further decoration necessary. The TV broadcast showed a fan holding it up proudly after Brandon Pfaadt's scoreless second inning in Game 3 of the National League Championship Series. At that point, the Arizona Diamondbacks did not appear to be especially alive. Down 2-0 in the series to a loaded Phillies team, even making the series competitive felt like a tall task. But this is baseball. And this is the postseason. And when the calendar flips to October, using logic and reason to predict what is going to happen often turns out to be a useless endeavor â like making a sign with proper grammar or full-sentence construction. Who needs it? "SNAKES ALIVE." You get the point. It turned out the Snakes were more than just alive. They weren't just hanging around for the heck of it. They were on a mission. And after capturing back-to-back games in Citizens Bank Park to complete one of the biggest upsets in LCS history Tuesday, the D-backs are heading to the World Series for the first time since 2001. They'll take on the Texas Rangers starting Friday in Arlington (8:03 p.m. ET, FOX and the FOX Sports App). It will be just the third time in the wild-card era that two WC teams will meet in the World Series (2002, 2014). Beyond the now indisputable fact that they are extremely alive, what else have we learned about these D-backs this month? Let's dig in. 1. The Kids Are More Than Alright Corbin Carroll's spectacular rookie season made him one of the most familiar faces on the Arizona roster entering October, and for the first handful of games, he was easily living up to the hype. An especially cold stretch followed, however, extending all the way to his breakout performance in Game 7 of the NLCS. In the interim, a host of other youngsters stepped up over and over to keep the Snakes alive.

The Cowboys have dominated teams with quarterbacks like Daniel Jones, Zach Wilson and Mac Jones. However, when they played the 49ers, it was a blowout loss. When they played the Chargers, it ended up being a close, three-point win. Now the Cowboys get a Rams team that isnât deep but plays close games. This matchup will be within six points, and Iâll take the Rams to cover.
