The under is 8-3-1 in the last 12 meetings between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Chicago Cubs, and I think we'll see a relatively low-scoring affair here in the opener of a three-game series Friday night.

The Cubs hand the ball to Kyle Hendricks (1-3, 3.54 ERA) who tossed seven shutout innings in a 5-1 victory over Arizona last Friday. Over his career, Hendricks owns a 1.95 ERA in five starts against the D'Backs who counter with Robbie Ray (0-1, 3.95 ERA). The left-hander has compiled a 1.80 ERA in five career starts against the Cubs and held them to four hits and one run through six innings last Sunday. The Cubs won that contest 2-1, and runs are likely to come at a premium for both sides here as well.

Under is 7-2 in Diamondbacks last 9 overall and 8-2 in their last 10 games vs. a right-handed starter. Under is 6-2 in Cubs last 8 overall and 8-3 in their last 11 games vs. a left-handed starter.

8* play on UNDER.
