Chicago at Arizona

This has been a tight series as each team has won a game by a single run. The rubber game of this series will be played this afternoon. The Cubs have gotten off to a great start at 10-7, and they are high on today's starter, Jordan Wicks. Wicks has 10 big league decisions and stands at 7-3 in the 10 games, and the Cubs have outscored those 10 opponents by 1.5 runs per contest. Arizona will counter with Brandon Pfaadt, who is 13-13 in 26 career decisions, but just 4-6 as a favorite with the Diamondbacks sporting a -28% ROI in the 10 starts. The Cubs are outplaying the Diamondbacks at this point of the season, and have the pitching edge in this one. I will make the play on the Chicago Cubs.
