Sunday's Starting Arms<br />
</h2>
<p>
Weaver is 2/5 on quality starts this season but two for his last three. Tuesday he held Pittsburgh to one run and six hits through 6 1/3 innings of a 2-1 Arizona victory. And over his last three starts, he's allowed just three runs and 15 hits through 17 2/3 innings, with 24 strikeouts.
</p>
<p>
The Diamondbacks are 3-2 with Weaver this season.
</p>
<p>
In four starts last year against Chicago while with St. Louis Weaver allowed 15 runs and 30 hits through 18 innings. The Cardinals managed to split those four games.
</p>
<p>
Lefty Quintana is three-for-four on quality starts this season and three for his last three. Tuesday he held the Dodgers to two runs and four hits through seven innings of a 7-2 Cubs win, and over his previous three starts he's allowed just those two runs and 14 hits through 21 innings, with 25 strikeouts.
</p>
<p>
Chicago is 3-1 with Quintana this season, 3-0 over his last three outings.
</p>
<p>
This will be Quintana's first start against the D-Backs since 2017, and that's kind of already a long time ago when it comes to this Arizona team.
