Money Line: 154.00 Arizona (Away)
Result: Loss
The Cubs have no business being this high of a favorite against any team - and that includes the Diamondbacks.
Arizona whipped Chicago, 7-3, on Saturday. That marked the Cubs' 18th loss in their last 24 games. This horrendous stretch is likely to cost them their outstanding core of Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo, Javier Baez and closer Craig Kimbrel.
It's difficult for the Cubs to keep their concentration in a world of trade rumors and uncertainty.
The Diamondbacks have the stronger pitcher going, too, in a matchup of Caleb Smith versus Trevor Williams.
Smith has shown flashes throughout his career. He holds a 2.78 daytime ERA. Williams has a 7.89 ERA in day games.
