Rickenbach MLB *8* OVER 9.5 runs in Chicago Cubs vs Arizona @ 2:20 ET - Favorable weather at Wrigley Field this afternoon as a late summer pattern is still in place before an early taste of autumn comes in early this week. Until then, enjoy the summer sunshine and plenty of offense at Wrigley Field this afternoon. After yesterday's rare pitchers' duel at Wrigley, look for 'normalcy' to return here. The Cubs first four games of this homestand saw an average of 14.5 runs per game scored. Look for that type of an affair this afternoon. The Diamondbacks send Rubby De La Rosa to the mound and he's compiled a 5.00 ERA in his last 3 starts and has a 4.48 ERA as a starter away from home this season. He has allowed 3 homers in his last two starts and that is a concern with the wind expected to be blowing out at Wrigley Field this afternoon. It's not a major weather factor but it is enough of a breeze to be helpful. As for the Cubs starter this afternoon, it's Kyle Hendricks getting the start. The Chicago right-hander has compiled a 5.62 ERA and a 1.50 WHIP in his last three starts. In his last 11 innings on the bump Hendricks has walked 6 batters. The Diamondbacks had scored at least 4 runs in each of their last 6 games before being shutout yesterday. Arizona will respond today. The Cubbies had averaged 7 runs per game in their last 4 games before getting just a pair in yesterday's 2-0 shutout win. Normal "Wrigley summer offense" returns this afternoon. Play OVER 9.5 runs in the Chicago Cubs game as an *8* selection Sunday.
