10* Diamondbacks (NL NON-DIV GOY)

We hit our NL West GAME OF YEAR on the Diamondbacks over the Dodgers back on July 4th, a 9-3 victory. Now the D-Backs will also represent as our selection for our NL Non-Divisional GAME OF THE YEAR here a few weeks later in Chicago on Saturday night. Arizona opened this series with a convincing 5-2 win, and is now sitting just one game back of the Mets for the final Wildcard in the NL. Clearly, we still have a lot of baseball to go, but the Diamondbacks would appear now primed for a run to try and lock down one of top spots. The Cubs are 4.5 games back now. Overall though we love this starting pitching matchup, as despite being on the road we feel that Zac Gallen (6-5, 3.87 ERA) should/could in fact be a much larger favorite throwing opposite the erratic Kyle Hendricks (2-7, 6.78.) Gallen owns a 3.60 ERA in all "night" contests and we expect him to be a difference-maker in the outcome of this contest. Hendricks looked good in his final start before the break vs. the Cardinals, but he's been consistenly inconsistent all year, entering just 1-3 with a 6.47 ERA in front of the home town crowd. We expect Arizona to build off yesterday's win with another on Saturday night from the Windy City; lay the price, the play is the Diamondbacks!
