3 Questions That Will Define Diamondbacks' Final Three Weeks

1. Can the Diamondbacks Stay in the Wild Card Race?

The Diamondbacks are currently 3.5 games behind the Milwaukee Brewers for the second Wild Card spot. However, they have a tough schedule remaining, with 10 games against teams that are currently above .500.

The Diamondbacks will need to play well down the stretch if they want to have a chance at making the playoffs. They will need to win at least 10 of their remaining 23 games, and they will need the Brewers to lose some games as well.

2. Will Madison Bumgarner Bounce Back?

Madison Bumgarner has not been the same pitcher since he signed with the Diamondbacks before the 2020 season. He has a 4.61 ERA in 27 starts this season, and he has not won a game since July 17.

The Diamondbacks need Bumgarner to be a difference-maker down the stretch if they want to make the playoffs. He is their ace, and he needs to pitch like one.

3. Can the Diamondbacks' Offense Keep Up?

The Diamondbacks have one of the best offenses in the National League. They are second in the league in runs scored, and they have a number of players who can hit for power and average.

The Diamondbacks will need their offense to continue to produce down the stretch if they want to make the playoffs. They will need to score runs in bunches, and they will need to get timely hits.
