While the D'backs haven't officially clinched a playoff spot, their playoff chances are all in the 99% range.
Considering the one game wild card game, if you were the manager, what is your rotation and bullpen look like? Assume 4 starters and 7 relievers.

Here's mine
1. Greinke - I don't think he's been the best D'backs pitcher lately but I still like him in this spot.
2. Ray - Assuming we win the 1 game playoff, I like him against the Dodgers as much as possible.
3. Corbin - It wasn't too long ago that I would have left him out of the rotation completely but he's been playing better lately and I like lefties against the Dodgers.
4. Godley - I just trust him more than I trust Walker.

Bullpen:

Bradley
Walker
Chafin
De La Rosa
Rodney
Hernandez
Sherfy - This may be the only surprise. I like him better than any of the other options available.

This... I would probably go with Walker over Godley, and look to use Godley in place of Hernandez out of the pen. I have zero confidence in David.. and I trust De La Rosa more than Chafin.
