Chicago Cubs at Arizona Diamondbacks Predictions & Tips

Chicago Cubs Form

Chicago head to Arizona still seeking a first win of the season, having dropped back-to-back games in Japan.

The Cubs opened the campaign overseas, taking part in a two-game Tokyo Series with the Los Angeles Dodgers, and they dropped both meetings with the defending world champions.

They lost their season-opener 4-1, before suffering a 6-3 defeat in the final game of that series.

Despite those defeats, Chicago are expected to perform better in 2025 that they did in 2024.

The Cubs went 83-79 for the second season running in 2024, but despite the winning record they missed out on the playoffs for the fourth season in a row.

Arizona Diamondbacks Form

Arizona go into the new season looking to bounce back from a 2024 season that saw them miss out on the playoffs.

The Diamondbacks made it all the way to the World Series in 2023, where they lost 4-1 to the Texas Rangers, but they appeared to suffer a hangover in 2024.

They did finish the season with a winning record, but their 89-73 mark was not good enough to make it to the postseason.

Arizona now enter the new campaign having gone 17-14 during Spring Training, with only three teams winning more games.

The Diamondbacks dropped their final two games though, as they were beaten in back-to-back meetings with Cleveland.

Verdict

CHI Cubs @ ARI Diamondbacks

Zac Gallen gets the nod for Arizona, and that gives us plenty of confidence in the Diamonbacks.

Gallen has looked good against the Cubs, including in a shutout win over them last July, and when the hosts are the betting favourites with him starting off, it tends to end with a win.
