The Cubbies are 20-34 on the road and getting too much respect with this betting line. They are a long way from home, on a 1-8 run on the road, plus 1-8 after a loss. Chicago has a terrible offense while Arizona is much better, 16th in runs scored and 11th in slugging. The Diamondbacks are 5-1 in their last six games as a favorite, plus 4-1 at home against a right-handed starter. Arizona has been on a nice run at home, 5-1, and blasted the Cubs yesterday, 9-3. The Cubs have lost four in a row and 10 of 12. The Diamondbacks are 10-4 in Josh Collmenter's last 14 starts. He's 7-5 with a 3.80 ERA and off a great game against Miami, allowing one run in a 4-3 win. The Cubs are 17-40 in the last 57 meetings in Arizona, and Arizona is 4-0 in the last four against Chicago. Play Arizona.
