This will be the fourth time these two teams face off this season and the Cubs are winning the season series 2-1. For this matchup, the Padres are -121 road favorites, the run line is 1.5, and the total is 8.5 runs.
San Diego Padres Betting Preview
San Diego won the first two games of their last series against the Rockies but they dropped the final two games.
The Padres are 37-24 on the season and they are just .5 games behind the Dodgers for first place in the NL West. San Diego is 20-11 on the road this season and they are 22-13 during night games in 2022.
Yu Darvish will make the start for the Padres against his former team tonight. Darvish is 5-3 this season with a 3.61 ERA, a 3.39 FIP, and a 1.01 WHIP. The Padres are 7-3 in games Darvish has started this season.
In his last two starts, Darvish has gone 14.2 innings allowing five runs and nine hits. Opponents have a .254 batting average on balls in play against Darvish this season.
The Cubs have a .715 OPS against righties this season, a .734 OPS at home, and a .674 OPS in night games this season.
Chicago Cubs Betting Preview
The Cubs are on a six-game losing streak and they got absolutely shelled against the Yankees this weekend. The Cubs lost 18-4 on Sunday afternoon and they are just 3-7 in their last 10 games.
Over this 10-game stretch, the Cubs have a team ERA of 6.32 and they have been outscored by 35 runs. Chicago is 23-36 on the season and they are 27-16 covering the run line as an underdog this season.
Justin Steele will make the start for the Cubs tonight. Steele has a 1-5 record on the season with a 4.79 ERA, a 3.35 FIP, and a 1.55 WHIP. Steele’s FIP indicated that better days should be ahead for the young lefty, but the Cubs are just 4-7 in games he has started this season.
In his last two starts, Steele has allowed five runs and 10 hits over 12 innings. The Padres have a .703 OPS at night, a .684 OPS on the road, and a .725 OPS vs lefties this season.
Chicago Cubs vs San Diego Padres Prediction
The Padres and the Cubs both had their offenses held in check during their last three games. The Padres and the Cubs both scored just five runs.
I think both starting pitchers are better than they seem, so I would lean toward the under in this game. I have identified a 5% play on this matchup and it is available on my Sportsmemo capper profile for only $9! I am 4-0 (100%) on 5% plays this season.
Prediction: Under 8.5
