Chicago at San Diego

Chicago looks to bounce back from a 5-4 loss on Tuesday night and will face Nick Martinez, who had a 4.12 ERA in April with a 2.288 opponent batting average and he has allowed seven runs on 15 hits in 16 2/3 innings in three starts at home this season. The Cubs have won seven of the last nine meetings overall and four of five at Petco Park. The Padres are 9-20 their last 29 games in the third game of a series dating to last season and Chicago won the series opener 6-0. The Cubs came close last night as Frank Schwindel hit an apparent go-ahead grand slam in the top of the ninth, but it died just short of the fence as have happened to many balls hit this season. The Cubs are expected to have a bullpen game and their relievers have a 3.46 ERA and 1.21 WHIP this year. Take the Cubs.
