The Cubs have been showing since the start of the league season that they will not contend for anything significant this season. The loss in the first game of the home series with Arizona was already the 22nd for the Chicago Cubs. David Ross's team has only 15 wins. The Cubs are 13th in the National League standings, behind Washington and Cincinnati.
Kyle Hendricks will pitch for Chicago in the upcoming game, going 2:3 and having a 4.03 ERA in eight starts on the new season.
Arizona Isn't Among the Strongest, Either
True, unlike the Cubs, the Diamondbacks are in a high seventh place in the conference standings. With some consideration, it would seem that Arizona could even contend for the playoffs. But Torey Lovullo's division is too strong. Arizona is last in the NL West standings with a 19-21 balance! Not only are the Dodgers, San Diego and San Francisco ahead at this point, but so is Colorado.
Humberto Castellanos will pitch for the Diamondbacks in the upcoming game with 2-1 and a 4.15 ERA in 8 games, 6 of which the pitcher has played in starts.
