CUBS/DIAMONDBACKS Over 9 +105 - The Diamondbacks may have trouble scoring runs on the road, but they have had no such troubles here at home, where they are averaging 5.80 runs per game and have a .293 team batting average vs. right-handed pitching. Arizona has scored a total of 21 runs on 26 hits over their last 2 games, both here at home. Yes, Mitre has looked good for the Cubs so far, but this will probably be the best offense he will have seen up to this point. Now Webb is going to be a stud in this league for many years, but he is having some bad control problems right now. He has issued an alarming 15 walks in 23 innings this season, which helps account for his rather high ratio of 1.48. He is facing a professional Cubs lineup that usually knows what to do with men on base, so Webb may not be as fortunate tonight as he has been so far this season, escaping jam after jam. It also helps that he has gotten some run support, as the Diamondbacks have scored 26 runs in his 4 starts so far, and they may even top that 6.50 runs per game average tonight in their raging current form.
