Should the Dbacks start Robbie Ray in the WC game?

Currently throwing a 2 hit Shut out in the 8th vs the LAD.
The best chance of the Diamondbacks have of winning the NLDS obviously is having Greinke throw twice. If they throw Ray in the WC then they get 2 games of Greinke and 1 of Ray. With their lineup its not out of the question......

Great question and goes to show how important winning the division is
I could understand either way, but I guess my thought process is...do you put your team in the best position to just make the NLDS or do you put your team in best position to make a deep playoff run? If you think the latter, then I say you risk starting Ray in wild card game and have Greinke face the Dodgers twice
Obviously it's probably a moot point with how good LA is in this specific scenario, but it's a good debate to have in general. Astros having to use Keuchel in wild card game in 2015 made it where he could only start 1 game in ALDS
ETA: if the Dbacks are going up against the Rockies in the wild card game, I'm sure they have plenty of data about how good their pitching staff has been against Colorado since they're in the same division. If the Brewers sneak in that 2nd spot then it gets tougher

As we watch Boston's lead evaporate again.....it would be nice to put them in this position (this is assuming we keep the AL lead)
They dont have a Ray to throw in the WC game so if they dont win the division they have to throw Sale
