After a successful series in Miami, the Arizona Diamondbacks travel to Chicago to face the Chicago Cubs, who return home after a long road trip through California.

Arizona Diamondbacks vs Chicago Cubs: Chicago Cubs Moneyline

The Cubs went 3-3 in their recent series against two other AL West Division teams, the Dodgers and Padres, demonstrating their high quality, with pitching that lived up to expectations and an offense that continues to produce good numbers led by Kyle Tucker, who has a .301 AVG, 5 home runs and 19 RBIs. The Cubs had a day off yesterday, and now being at home, against some D-backs who are weak in pitching, we expect them to take the victory.

Arizona Diamondbacks vs Chicago Cubs: Over

The Diamondbacks and the Cubs have two of the best offenses in the league, with the former averaging 5.44 runs scored per game and the latter averaging 5.90. In addition, Corbin Burnes, with an ERA of 5.28, will be the starting pitcher for the D-backs, while Colin Rea of the Cubs will be making only his second start. This will be a good day for the offenses to put on a show and leave a score with a lot of runs.

Arizona Diamondbacks vs Chicago Cubs Prediction

While both teams have offenses with similar capabilities, the Cubs have been much more solid in the bullpen, therefore, although they do not completely stop the visiting attack, we expect the Cubs to achieve victory in an entertaining game with many scores.
