Diamondbacks Favored to Cover Runline Against Chicago with Inexperienced Pitcher Drew Thorpe

It is advisable to consider placing a bet on the runline in favor of the Diamondbacks when facing the Chicago team, as the odds are in favor of Arizona winning. Drew Thorpe, a relatively inexperienced pitcher, will face challenges while playing away in Arizona for only his second start. In his debut, Thorpe showed limited power and faced a team ranked low in run production. On the contrary, Arizona boasts a stronger offense and ranks 6th in run production. The veteran pitcher, Montgomery, is expected to perform well against Chicago, who currently holds the lowest ranking in the league for run production. Considering Chicago's historically poor performance, it is unlikely they will keep the score close against Arizona. Therefore, the better choice would be to bet on the Diamondbacks covering the runline.
