MLB Power Rankings: How do the 12 playoff teams stack up?

The playoff field is officially set. So, how do all 12 teams rank heading into October? Here's Ben Verlander's final ballot.

OCTOBER 2, 2023

Brandon Pfaadt - Starting Game 1 Pfaadt will start Game 1 of the National League Wild Card Series against the Brewers on Sunday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact Pfaadt was inconsistent over the final month of the regular season but was effective in his final regular-season start, striking out eight in 5.2 scoreless innings to earn the win over the White Sox. He'll face a tougher test against the Brewers but will have a chance to prove himself in the postseason as the Diamondbacks attempt to gain an early advantage in the series.

OCTOBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Bryce Jarvis - Fans three in short appearance Jarvis allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits over 2.2 innings in Sunday's loss to the Astros. He struck out three and did not factor in the decision.

Impact Jarvis entered the game in the first inning after Kyle Nelson got off to a rocky start as the opener. Since the start of September, Jarvis allowed three earned runs over 11.2 frames. He registered a solid 3.04 in 23.2 MLB innings this season, mostly as a bullpen arm. The right-handed rookie could compete for a rotation spot with Arizona in 2024.

Gabriel Moreno - Receives Sunday off Moreno is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact It's a well-deserved day off for Moreno, who started Arizona's previous 14 contests for the playoff push. The rookie backstop is poised to close the campaign with seven homers, 50 RBI, 33 runs and a .284/.339/.408 slash line in 111 games.

OCTOBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Christian Walker - Out of Sunday's lineup Walker is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact Walker is mired in an 0-for-15 slump and will hit the bench for the regular-season finale after Arizona punched its ticket to the playoffs Saturday. Despite the recent struggles, it's been another strong campaign for the first baseman with 33 homers, 103 RBI and an .830 OPS.

OCTOBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Corbin Carroll - Not in Sunday's lineup Carroll is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Astros, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact Carroll will sit for the final contest of the regular season with Arizona having already secured a spot in the playoffs. The 23-year-old is the frontrunner for NL Rookie of the Year with 25 homers, 54 steals, 76 RBI, 116 runs and an .868 OPS in 155 games.

Phillies Waiting for Wild Card Opponent The Philadelphia Phillies will play either the Miami Marlins or the Arizona Diamondbacks in the NL Wild Card Playoffs.

OCTOBER 1, 2023 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Kyle Nelson - Listed as Sunday's starter Nelson is expected to start Sunday's season finale against Astros.

Impact The Diamondbacks clinched a playoff berth despite losing Saturday, and it looks like Nelson, a reliever, will start Sunday. It's unclear if manager Torey Lovullo plans to use a starter for bulk innings or go with a bullpen day. The manager may want to preserve starters' arms in advance of the playoffs, which begins Tuesday.
