The Chicago Cubs and the Arizona Diamondbacks resume their season-opening series, with the latter looking to even the score at Chase Field on Friday.
After dropping both games against the LA Dodgers in Japan, the Cubs finally notched their first win of the season at the expense of the Diamondbacks, 10-6. Miguel Amaya chalked up five RBIs behind two doubles to star in the win. The Cubs’ run barrage also helped Justin Steele earn the win still despite allowing three runs in five innings.
Geraldo Perdomo accounted for two of the six runs the D-Backs scored on opening day. Zac Gallen had a disappointing season debut with four runs and four weeks over four innings. Eugenio Suarez delivered the lone homer for Arizona in the game, sending the ball 430 feet from home plate.

Our Chicago Cubs vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction
Jameson Taillon will start for the Cubs, who are still my pick to win and cover on Friday. Taillon will be pitching against the Diamondbacks for the first time since blanking them through six innings on September 8, 2023. Chicago has already tallied 14 runs in three games while batting .219. D-Backs starter Merrill Kelly, who finished with a 4.42 ERA last season, faces enormous pressure to neutralize the Cubs offense, which produced 10 runs the other day. While I doubt Chicago can top their offensive explosion in Game 1, they will still score plenty of runs in this game too to outgun the Diamondbacks the second time. Our betting prediction for Chicago Cubs vs. Arizona Diamondbacks: Cubs will win.
