Cubs vs. Diamondbacks Series Betting Line – May 24

Gambling911.com has your Cubs vs. Diamondbacks series betting line plays for Sunday May 24.

The home team Diamondbacks with a record just under the .500 mark are a +133 underdog while the Cubs are a -143 visiting favorite.  The total on this game was 8.5 with a handful of books coming in at 8.  Six of the last eight meetings between these two teams have resulted in totals above 8.5.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Cubs RH Jason Hammel (3-1, 2.70 ERA) vs. Diamondbacks RH Jeremy Hellickson (1-3, 5.52)

Hammel is 4-3 with a 3.43 ERA in 12 appearances (nine starts) against Arizona and limits the roster to a .229 batting average, which might explain why he is such a big favorite here.   Factor in that Hellickson is winless thus far in five home starts.  He has never faced the Cubs. 

It should also be noted that Hellickson has permitted a home run in his last four appearances.
