Sean's 26-20 MLB GRAND SLAM!

Arizona Diamondbacks (8-8) vs Chicago Cubs (9-6)

Monday, April 15, 2024 at 9:40 pm

My selection is on Arizona over Chicago at 9:40 pm et on Monday.

The Diamondbacks come into this series feeling pretty good about themselves after posting four wins in their last five games. We'll back them here and fade the Cubs who are coming off a series win in Seattle including a 3-2 victory yesterday. Rookie Ben Brown will get his second start for the Cubs. He impressed in his first, allowing just three hits over 4 2/3 shutout innings against the Padres. Control has been an issue for Brown in the minors and I suspect the D'Backs will stay patient against him on Monday, ultimately leading to a relatively short outing. Merrill Kelly has been the picture of consistency for Arizona. He rarely gets blown up and when he does it usually happens on the road, not at home. Going back to last season, Kelly has lasted at least six innings in each of his last four starts. Take Arizona (8*).
