Arizona Diamondbacks at Chicago Cubs Preview & Picks

Chicago are backed to continue the form that propelled them into the playoff picture.

The Cubs have been on a roll over the past couple of months, while Arizona have cooled off in recent weeks.

  • Chicago Cubs are 7-2 in their last 9 games
  • Arizona Diamondbacks are 3-6 in their last 9 games
  • Chicago pitcher Javier Assad has allowed only 8 runs in his last 37 innings
  • The Under has cashed in 8 of Chicago's last 10 games

Head To Head

  • This is the first meeting between the teams this season

Arizona Diamondbacks Form

Arizona travelled to Chicago on a poor run of form, having lost six of their previous nine games.

The Diamondbacks’ rough run started in Los Angeles as they were swept in a three-game series by the Dodgers, losing 7-4, 9-1 and 7-0.

They stopped the rot with a 4-2 upset of Baltimore at home, only to lose the next two meetings 7-3 and 8-5.

Arizona made a winning start to the series with Colorado too, taking it 4-2, but again they failed to build on a win.

The Diamondbacks lost the second meeting with the Rockies, 3-2, although they did rebound immediately with a 12-5 victory last night.

Chicago Cubs Form

Chicago come into this series on a solid run of form, having won seven of their last nine games.

The Cubs rebounded from a 6-2 home defeat to Milwaukee with 1-0 and 3-2 victories over the Brewers.

They then travelled to Cincinnati and won the series opener against the Reds, 6-2, only to lose the next two meetings, 3-2 and 2-1.

Chicago were able to split that series though, taking the final meeting 15-7, and they backed up that win when they returned home.

The Cubs started this week by beating sweeping San Francisco, beating the Giants 5-0, 11-8 and 8-2.

Verdict

Chicago are on a roll and Javier Assad has been in impressive form recently, so we are backing the Cubs to come out on top.
