The Cubs dropped the first game of their series with the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Cubs had won seven of their last ten heading into the break. Kyle Hendricks get the start for the Cubs. He is a disappointing 2-7 this season with a 6.78 ERA and a 1.51 WHIP. He gave up two runs in his two starts before the break. Zac Gallen gets the start for the DBacks. He is 6-5 with a 3.87 ERA and a 1.21 WHIP. July has not been a good month for Gallen as he has allowed 13 runs in 13 innings. The Diamondbacks have won seven of the last ten against the Cubs. Arizona won four of five before the break. Arizona is second in all of baseball in runs scored. As bad as Gallen has been recently, I would still say he is the better pitcher. Kyle Hendricks allowed seven runs in 4.2 innings the last time he faced Arizona. Arizona is fighting for a playoff spot and the Cubs are in contention for the same spot. Take Arizona for the win.
