The NL Central is one fierce division. Entering play on Thursday, every team was above .500. Compare that to the AL Central where the Guardians were the only team playing to the equator in MLB. The Diamondbacks have been playing around .500 baseball on the road. However, the Cubs have been strong at home. How much of that is because they caught the slumping Mets and Phillies?
No matter it takes mettle and putting bat on the ball to down the Cubbies at Wrigley. This is a three-game weekend series that will see Chicago favored in MLB odds throughout. The Diamondbacks have to wonder if the Cubs will have their eyes on a series with NL Central rival Cincinnati, which follows in next week.
