Chicago plays its fourth straight road game out West. They are off to a hot start but you are only as good as your next day's starting pitcher, as Earl Weaver used to say. And for this game, Cubs' righty Jason Hammel does not have electric stuff, with a 5.14 ERA against Arizona last season. The last three years Hammel has a 4.04 ERA on the road. Arizona has plenty of talent on offense (25 runs in four games) and plays its fifth straight home contest. Diamondbacks' lefty Robbie Ray had a 3.52 ERA last season and has thrown well against the Cubs in his career, as they hit .222 off him. The Diamondbacks are 7-3 against a right-handed starter and the Cubs are 19-43 when they play at Arizona. Play Arizona.
