The Arizona Diamondbacks will go on the road after the break to take on the surging Chicago Cubs. Ryne Nelson will go for the Diamondbacks. He is 6-6 with a 4.98 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP. He went seven innings last time out allowing three runs. Justin Steele is expected to start for the Cubs. He went seven shutout innings last time out. Overall he is 2-3 with a 2.71 ERA, and a 0.95 WHIP. The Cubs are 8-3 in their final 11 games before the All-Star break. The Cubs have allowed two or fewer runs in eight of their last 11 games. They scored four or more runs in nine of those 11 games. Steele has allowed two or fewer earned runs in eight of his last nine starts. The Cubs were red-hot before the break and I expect them to continue against Nelson and the D’backs.

Play on Chicago. This is a 3% play.
