The Arizona Diamnodbacks have the dubious distinction of having the worst record in baseball, off to a horrendous 5-16 start on the season. All that does is fuel the value on this team as they are ultimately not as bad as the record looks through 21 games. The Chicago Cubs have not been much better with just five wins of their own, and the Cubs record is more likely to be a truer representation of where this team will be after September. Bronson Arroyo is off to a slow start, but should fare well against the soft hitting Cubs, and his resume at Wrigley is strong as he is 8-3 here with a 2.83 ERA in 15 career starts. Travis Wood has had issues navigating the Arizona line up as he is just 1-4 with a 4.91 ERA aginst them in five career starts. Make the play on Arizona.
