Analysis
*3 Star Play on Arizona ML* The Arizona Diamondbacks start Zac Gallen here. Gallen has been a huge moneymaker at home in his career. That is especially true early in the season. Gallen has a 0.928 WHIP overall in March/April so he has been superb to start the season out wherever he pitches.
Gallen is 38-15 on the moneyline at home in his career. He is up against a pretty good Cubs lineup, but Gallen should be up to the task here. He had a strong 2.89 ERA in Spring Training, so he is in good form. Gallen's history against the Cubs is great as well. He has a .250 wOBA against the Cubs in 97 plate appearances.
Justin Steele has a .369 weighted on base average against this Diamondbacks lineup in his career. Naylor should be a good addition to this lineup, and with Marte and Carroll at the top of the order Arizona will be solid offensively.
The favorites have done well on Opening Day in the past decade. I like this home favorite.
Take Arizona.
