"Old Friend Ildemaro Vargas is leading the Diamondbacks offensively this season, slashing .372/.393/.698 with six homers and a 12.1 K%. That is absurd. The Diamondbacks have gotten good results this year, even though their run differential is negative."

They face the Diamondbacks, who have a strong offense and tough matchups for the Cubs' left-handed pitchers. Zac Gallen, a potential missed signing for the Cubs, starts the series. The Cubs' offense is improving, with hopes for key players returning. The Diamondbacks have performed well despite a negative run differential, making this series challenging for the Cubs.
