MINTY BETS: The Diamondbacks and Cubs. The Cubs are minus 190 and the total is 8.5. Starting for Arizona, we've got Caleb Smith. He's 3 and 6 with a 4.38 ERA, 88 strikeouts, and 39 walks. On the mound for Chicago, we've got Trevor Williams. He's 3 and 2 with a 5.68 ERA, 55 strikeouts, and 22 walks.
These are two teams that seem to be declining, although the Diamondbacks just swept the Pirates before coming into the series. I mean, they beat the Pirates.
Arizona starts lefty Caleb Smith, and the Cubs bat at .245 with an OPS of .730 against left-handed pitchers. Not super impressive. The Diamondbacks, however, don't do well against righties like Trevor Williams at all, ranking 23rd in the league in batting against right handed pitchers and 29th in OPS.
It's an ugly match-up, and I think the Cubs will win, but that price is too high, and I just don't trust them on the run line. I'll look to the other.
