The Cubs currently sit at 13-9, while the Diamondbacks are just behind at 12-8. Despite their recent success, the Cubs are coming off a tough loss to the Diamondbacks in their last outing, where they struggled to find their rhythm.<\/p>\n<p>Ben Brown is projected to take the mound for the Cubs, boasting a decent 2-1 record this season, but his 5.09 <a href=\"https:\/\/evanalytics.com\/mlb\/player-stats\/earned-run-average\">ERA<\/a> raises some eyebrows. However, advanced metrics suggest he may have been unlucky, as his 3.65 xFIP indicates he could improve. Brown&#8217;s high walk rate (10.7 BB%) against a patient Diamondbacks lineup, which ranks 2nd in MLB for walks, could spell trouble for him.<\/p>\n<p>On the other side, Zac Gallen will start for Arizona. Gallen has a 1-2 record and a 4.64 <a href=\"https:\/\/evanalytics.com\/mlb\/player-stats\/earned-run-average\">ERA<\/a>, which is average, but his 4.02 SIERA suggests he, too, has faced some misfortune this season. Gallen&#8217;s flyball tendencies (41 FB%) could be a concern against a powerful Cubs offense that ranks 3rd in MLB with 32 home runs.<\/p>\n<p>Offensively, the Cubs rank 3rd overall in MLB, showcasing their strength in batting average, home runs, and walks. The Diamondbacks, however, have the top-ranked offense in MLB, making this matchup particularly compelling. With the Game Total set at a low 7.5 runs, the betting markets indicate a closely contested game, and the Cubs&#8217; moneyline of -125 reflects their status as slight favorites, despite the Diamondbacks&#8217; impressive offensive capabilities. <\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin: 3rem 0 0 0;\">Arizona Diamondbacks Insights<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.75rem 0;\"><strong>Zac Gallen &#8211; Over\/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-110\/-120)<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0;\">Zac Gallen&#8217;s curveball percentage has decreased by 8.5% from last year to this one (27.7% to 19.2%) .<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0 1.5rem;\"><small><em><strong>Explain:<\/strong> Because curveballs are one of the most effective pitches to use, a pitcher who alters his pitch mix to use them less often may see less success as a result, particularly if he uses his fastball more instead.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.75rem 0;\"><strong>Corbin Carroll &#8211; Over\/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+115\/-150)<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0;\">Corbin Carroll has seen a big increase in his exit velocity this season; just compare his 95.2-mph average to last season&#8217;s 89.2-mph figure.<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0 1.5rem;\"><small><em><strong>Explain:<\/strong> Hitting the ball hard increases the chances of either a home run or the ball landing in fair territory for a hit before a fielder can get to it.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.75rem 0;\"><strong><\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0;\">The underlying talent of the Arizona Diamondbacks projected batting order today (.317 projected wOBA according to the leading projection system, THE BAT X) figures to be considerably weaker than their .349 wOBA this year.<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0 1.5rem;\"><small><em><strong>Explain:<\/strong> Betting lines are often based on seasonal team quality.
