MLB | Apr 18, 2025 Diamondbacks vs Cubs |
Cubs +117 at Buckeye |
Won $117 |
| Play Type: Top Premium | ||
| At 2:20 pm, our selection is on the Chicago Cubs over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Both the D-Backs and Cubs are off to fantastic starts thanks to some new blood that came on board over the off-season. For the D-Backs, the biggest free agent starter not coming from overseas -- Corbin Burnes -- decided he wanted to play for the foreseeable future in Arizona and signed a six-year deal with the team. For the Cubs, OF Kyle Tucker was traded by the Astros when they decided they were going to start re-building and would not be able to sign the All-Star when he hit free-agency in 2026. Add to those two players some excellent young talent and you have winning formulas on both sides. With far less fanfare than Tucker, the Cubs also signed 34-year-old RHP Colin Rea over the winter after he was granted free agency from Milwaukee. The veteran swingman will get his second start of the season today as Chicago tries to fill a gaping hole in the rotation left by Justin Steele (out for the season). Rea knows how to win games as he went 12-6 last season with the Brewers. Take the Cubs. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. | ||
