"The best part about Friday afternoons at Wrigley is that the Cubs are the only game on the docket. The next start doesn't come until four hours later, which is big when you're scoreboard-watching."
"Colin Rea, who was ambushed in LA last weekend for his worst outing of the season, will need to be much better against the Diamondbacks, who have struggled to reach base."
"In 50 combined at-bats against Rea, these Diamondbacks are slashing .280/.308/.500, with Ketel Marte hitting both of their homers."
The Cubs are back at Wrigley after a series in California, with three consecutive afternoon games scheduled. The game timing is favorable, allowing for better viewing without distractions. The Cubs need to perform well against the Diamondbacks, especially with Colin Rea starting after a poor performance in LA. The Diamondbacks have struggled offensively, ranking low in on-base percentage and home runs, which could play to the Cubs' advantage if they capitalize on their opportunities.
