The Cubs and Diamondbacks square off in a high-stakes divisional showdown, with Chicago clinging to second place and Arizona hot on their heels. Both teams boast potent offenses—Cubs’ slugging prowess led by Hoerner and Crow-Armstrong, D-backs’ power duo of Arenado and Carroll—but recent records show mixed results. Injuries loom for both squads, while pitchers Gausman and Kelly bring contrasting performances to the mound. With the series tied at four games apiece and momentum on the line, expect fireworks in Phoenix as oddsmakers favor the Cubs—but don’t count out the Diamondbacks’ resilience.
