This is all about Justin Steele and the Cubs needing to make a statement. Steele has been lights out posting a 16-3 record with a 2.49 ERA. He has a 0.43 ERA in his previous three starts. Brandon Pfaadt will go for Arizona. he is 1-8 this season, with a 6.25 ERA. Chicago won two of three games the last time they visited Arizona. The Diamondbacks have lost three of Pfaadt's previous four starts. At home, he is 1-4 with a 7.30 ERA and 1.72 WHIP over nine starts. The Arizona pitching staff has recently struggled at home posting a 5.00 ERA in their previous five games. Arizona has lost three of their last four games. I see a huge mismatch with Steele on the mound.

Play on Chicago. This is a 5% play
