Chicago vs Arizona Stats

Chicago Cubs

The Chicago Cubs, currently 1-3 this season, will be starting left-hander Matthew Boyd in their upcoming game. Boyd, who had a 2-2 record with a 2.72 ERA last season, will be looking to bounce back from a recent loss against Arizona. The Cubs have made significant additions during the offseason, including outfielder Kyle Tucker and reliever Ryan Pressly, in hopes of competing for a division title in 2025. Despite some key injuries, the team is focused on improving their performance on both offense and defense to achieve their playoff goals.

Arizona Diamondbacks Analysis

The Arizona Diamondbacks are turning to lefty Eduardo Rodriguez, who had a 3-4 record with a 5.04 ERA last season, to face Chicago. Despite leading MLB in runs scored in 2024, the Diamondbacks struggled with pitching, ranking 27th in ERA. With competition in the NL West heating up, they will need to improve their pitching to secure a playoff spot. The team recently lost Jordan Montgomery to injury but signed veteran Corbin Burnes to strengthen the rotation. Arizona has a power ranking of 7 and is ranked #2 for offense, averaging 7.00 runs per game. There are no injuries reported for Thursday's game against Chicago. In their last 3 matchups, Chicago went 1-2 against Arizona.
