Prediction

Christian Walker has been a key player for the Diamondbacks, leading the team with 22 home runs this season. With a favorable matchup against the Cubs and their struggling pitching staff, Walker has a good chance of hitting a home run. The Cubs' pitching has been inconsistent, and Walker's power at the plate makes this prop bet an attractive option.
