Excerpted notes: to ponder over so pick your own poison, I’ve made my choice.
Eovaldi (4-0, 2.42 ERA) is aiming to become the first pitcher to win five starts in the playoffs. Randy Johnson (2001), Francisco Rodriguez (2002) and Stephen Strasburg (2019) have recorded five wins in a single postseason, but each of the three pocketed a victory in relief.
Eovaldi, 33, allowed two runs on five hits in 6 1/3 innings in a 9-2 victory over the Houston Astros in Game 6 of the American League Championship Series on Sunday. The Texas native has struck out 28 batters against just four walks in 26 innings in the postseason.
"Obviously I'm very grateful for the past experiences. Just being able to participate and get into the World Series was big. I kind of had my moment there," Eovaldi said on Thursday.
"But coming in, having Game 1, trying to set a tone for the team, there's a lot of pressure with that, but also a lot of excitement. But definitely ready for this opportunity to go out there, compete against a really good lineup."
Eovaldi owns a 3-0 mark with a 2.78 ERA in eight career appearances (five starts) against the Diamondbacks.
Arizona will hand the ball to right-hander Zac Gallen (2-2, 5.24), who'll try to turn the page from a pair of tough outings in the National League Championship Series when he makes his World Series debut.
Gallen, 28, permitted nine runs on 14 hits -- including five homers -- over 11 innings in a pair of losses to the Philadelphia Phillies in the NLCS.
"I think for me I said it after the two starts, just lack of execution, really," Gallen said. "So for me, just trying to execute a little bit better and give us a chance to win, really.
"No secret, I feel like I didn't help the guys that much. So I'm looking to try and pull my weight this time around."
"When we hear those things, they're out there," Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said. "... And we just put it on our list and keep those receipts and walk around with a little bit more of a chip on our shoulder. It gives you a little bit more motivation. And when you can get a little bit more, you take it."
Texas manager Bruce Bochy said he wasn't using a perceived underdog mentality as motivation.
"We really didn't talk about it. We weren't concerned with what people thought of us," Bochy said. "We thought we were good. We thought we belonged and we thought we could win and that's how we looked at it."
Gallen struck out 11 batters and allowed one run in six innings of a 6-3 victory over Texas on Aug. 22. He is 1-1 with a 3.57 ERA in three career starts vs. the Rangers.
