The Arizona Diamondbacks put an end to the Chicago Cubs' four-game winning streak yesterday with a 6-0 triumph. They've five of their last six with the only setback a 5-1 loss to the Cubs in the opener of this three-game set on Friday, and I think the D'Backs will claim the rubber match here Sunday afternoon.
D'Backs left-hander Robbie Ray (0-1, 4.64 ERA) had allowed only a total of six runs through his first three starts (15 1/3 innings) before getting roughed up for five in six innings at Atlanta last time out. Arizona still won that game 9-6 and I like Ray to come back with a big performance here. Note that Ray has posted a 1.88 ERA in four career starts against the Cubs.
Chicago hands the ball to Tyler Chatwood (0-0, 6.00 ERA) for his first start of the season. He has been tagged with four runs on six hits and five walks in six innings out of the bullpen. Chatwood surrendered four runs on five hits and six walks in 4 2/3 innings against Arizona last season.
Diamondbacks are 11-4 in Ray's last 15 road starts vs. a team with a losing record.
