Analysis
The Cubs are coming into this game with Justin Steele starting in this game. Steele has been a stud for the Cubs over the last few seasons, but he is not off to a great start this year. He was not very good in Spring Training as he went 1-1 in his 3 starts, allowing 9 earned runs in 8.2 innings pitched. He also has a real start under his belt this season as the Cubs played 2 games against the Dodgers in Japan a week ago, and they lost both of those games with a bad performance from Steele in 1 of those. Steele is already 0-1 this season with an 11.25 ERA as he allowed 5 earned runs in 4 innings against the Dodgers. They are going up against a Diamondbacks team that is going to have Zac Gallen starting in this game and he is coming off of a very good season. Gallen was very good in Spring Training this season as he went 2-0 in his 4 starts, allowing 3 earned runs in 9.1 innings pitched. He has also pitched very well against the Cubs in his career. He only saw the Cubs once last season, but he allowed no runs and only 3 hits in 5 innings against them. He has also allowed no runs in his last 2 starts against the Cubs going back to 2 seasons ago, and he has allowed just 2 earned runs total in his last 4 starts against the Cubs over the last 3 seasons. The Diamondbacks will win this game at home.
