The Arizona Diamondbacks will square off with the Chicago Cubs in Game 3 of their series at Chase Field on Saturday.
The Diamondbacks tap Brandon Pfaadt top start in Game 3. Pfaddt finished last season with an 11-10 record and 4.71 ERA with 185 strikeouts. The 26-year-old right-handed pitcher has only allowed two runs over his last 19 innings vs. the Cubs across three games.
The Cubs counter with their ace Shoto Imanaga, who is 4-1 with a 1.45 ERA in his last five starts, including the game vs. the Dodgers in Tokyo a few weeks ago. The Japanese hurler faced the Diamondbacks one time during his terrific rookie year, giving up only one earned run with 10 strikeouts in seven innings on July 21, 2024.

Our Chicago Cubs vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction
The Under looks like an attractive pick right now since Pfaadt and Imanaga are both quality pitchers with a history of dominance against each other’s teams. After an explosive opening-day game that produced a combined 16 runs, I expect the number of runs to decrease over the coming days as defense and pitching begin to take over. Our betting prediction for Chicago Cubs vs. Arizona Diamondbacks: Under 8.5 Runs
