Arizona needs to salvage a game from this series after losing another close one 2-0 on Saturday. Merrill Kelly has had a rough start to the season, but he has a good history against Chicago hitters, who are just 20-for-97 for a .206 batting average against him with one homer. Cubs starter Matthew Boyd has allowed 15 runs (14 earned) on 21 hits in 18 innings in 2026. Chicago lost his last start 9-7 to the Padres when he was touched for five runs on eight hits in four innings. Arizona hitters have a .690 OPS against Boyd in 45 at-bats. The Cubs bullpen has a 3.81 ERA and a 1.23 WHIP. There is a high posted total on this game as the wind will be blowing out to left center, but it won't be an advantage for left-handed batters. Take the Diamondbacks and the UNDER.

Chicago is in first place in the NL Central after winning its fifth in seven games, 6-2 over the Diamondbacks on Saturday. Seiya Suzuki and Michael Busch hit consecutive home runs in a four-run second, and the bullpen allowed one run in five innings for the Cubs. Jameson Taillon has allowed seven runs on 13 hits in 17 1/3 innings in his past three starts, and Chicago won two of them. Arizona is 2-9 in its past 11 games as an underdog of +110 to +150, and the Cubs have won Taillon's past four home starts. The UNDER is 5-0-1 in Merrill Kelly's past six starts versus NL Central opponents. The weather forecast calls for a cold and rainy day with winds blowing in at 16 mph at Wrigley Field. Take the Cubs and the UNDER.

It's hard to remember that yesterday's wild 13-11 game was 2-1 in the bottom of the seventh. Arizona starter Zac Gallen was in form in the last game, beating Milwaukee, 5-2, allowing two runs in six innings. He's had one other road start, shutting out the Yankees in the Bronx over six innings of work in a 4-3 victory. Chicago is on a 4-3 run UNDER the total. Ben Brown shut out the Dodgers over six innings in his last start with no walks. He has 20 Ks in 17+ innings. Last season, Brown had a 3.00 ERA in Wrigley Field. Play Arizona/Chicago UNDER the total.
