Cubs vs D’Backs Free Pick August 13, 2017
The D’Backs beat the Cubs by a score of 6-2 last night, and I like Arizona in the series finale. Jake Arrieta will toe the slab for the Cubs, and he’s really been on a roll lately. Arrieta (11-8, 3.83 ERA) allowed three runs on nine hits over 6 1/3 innings in a 5-3 win at San Francisco his last time out. He’s 3-1 with a 2.20 ERA in five starts since the All Star break. His only start against Arizona this season was a good one, allowing just one earned run on three hits, striking out eight in seven innings. The D’Backs hand the ball to Zack Godley, who has been having a career year. The right-hander allowed three runs on eight hits, striking out five in 6 2/3 innings in a home win over the Dodgers his last time out. He’s 2-1 with a 3.73 ERA in five starts since the All Star break, and he blanked the Cubs through six innings the only time he faced them this season. Arizona has won eight of Godley’s last nine starts versus teams with a winning record. Take ARI. GL, Jesse Schule.
