The Chicago Cubs will face the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday afternoon, with the Cubs aiming to improve their road record against an Arizona team that has been strong at home. The Cubs enter the series with an identical 38-29 record on the road as the Diamondbacks hold at their home field.
Chicago's starting pitcher, Matthew Boyd, has a 8-2 record on the season. However, he has struggled in recent outings, surrendering 11 runs in his last 11 ⅓ innings pitched. On the other side, Arizona's Eduardo Rodriguez is on a three-game winning streak, having allowed just four runs over his last 18 ⅔ innings.
