Cubs lefty Tom Gorzelanny has not been getting any run support this year and has a poor record against the Diamondbacks who will get the split at Wrigley.
Our Sunday afternoon MLB selection is on the Arizona Diamondbacks over the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field.
We're only one month into the season, but so far Chicago's Tom Gorzelanny would seem to be the winner of the "Rodney Dangerfield" award given to the major league starter who gets the least amount of respect from his teammates.

The 27-year-old left-hander has pitched very well for his new team in his first four starts, but has absolutely nothing to show for it. Just how good has the veteran southpaw and former Pirate been for this team? How about a 2.45 ERA and WHIP just a shade over 1.0?
And just how weak has the hitting been when he's on the mound? How about a total of seven runs scored by the Cubbies in Gorzelanny's four outings?
And it likely won't get any better for Gorzelanny at home this afternoon against the D-Backs, as in four lifetime starts against Arizona he has only a single win to go with a 5.09 ERA.
These two teams played six times in 2009, with Arizona taking four of those games, including two of three at Wrigley Field. Take the Diamondbacks.
