This market will resolve to "Arizona Diamondbacks" if the Arizona Diamondbacks win the game. If the game is postponed, this market will remain open until the game has been completed. If the game is canceled entirely, with no make-up game, or ends in a tie, this market will resolve 50-50. The primary resolution source for this market is the official final statistics of the event as recognized by the governing body or event organizers.

The Chicago Cubs (75-56) enter the three-game series at Chase Field as road favorites against the Arizona Diamondbacks (69-62), reflecting their stronger overall standing, six-game lead in the NL wild-card race, and top-tier offense that ranks third in slugging percentage. Chicago’s recent 19-2 rout of the Mariners highlighted power from players like Pete Crow-Armstrong, while the Diamondbacks sit 11 games back in the NL West and have dealt with multiple injuries, including Ketel Marte and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. on the IL. The pitching matchup features Cubs right-hander Kevin Gausman against Merrill Kelly, both carrying ERAs above 4.50, in a contest where the Cubs hold a historical edge in recent meetings. Late-season bullpen depth and home/road splits at Chase Field add further context to the implied probabilities.
