"Keep an eye on those @Dbacks! They're 12-4 in their past 16 games." - @ MLB
Facing off today will be Zac Gallen for the D-backs and Kyle Hendricks for the Cubs. Zac Gallen has been absolutely dominant this year, allowing just three runs in 28 innings of work. He's back to the pitcher he was in 2020 after a relatively terrible 2021 campaign.
While Kyle Hendricks has been inconsistent in his seven starts, he's coming off a shutout performance in San Deigo, where he fell one out short of a complete game.

Chicago Cubs vs. Arizona Diamondbacks Best Picks
This Arizona lineup strikes out a lot, and Kyle Hendricks can strike out an entire lineup when he's hot. If he can settle in early and go deep into the game, he should have no problem hitting his 3 1/2 total.
Kyle Hendricks Over 3.5 Strikeouts (-134)
Zac Gallen can't be this untouchable all season, but he has shown no sign of falling off. Bettors should ride with him until he gives them a reason not to. Going against a Chicago lineup that is batting .235, his hit prop is a great bet.
Zac Gallen Under 4.5 Hits Allowed (-108)
"Anyone ever seen Zac Gallen and Kyle Mooney in the same room?" - @ Warren
With two studs starting, runs will be hard to come by. Bettors watching the game live would be well off to bet the under on runs each inning, but for those who like to set it and forget it, just take the first two innings.
No Runs to be Scored in the First Inning (-118) & No Runs to be Scored in the Second Inning (-144)
Chicago Cubs vs. Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction
As previously stated, bettors should ride with Zac Gallen until he starts losing games, but we may very well be betting on him all season long. Gallen is an absolute stud. His Cy Young prop already moved from (+5500) to open the season and is down to (+2500).
Diamondbacks (-162) & Under 8 Runs (-112)
