Chicago at San Diego

Jake Peavy nixed a deal in place between the Padres and White Sox yesterday, and will take the mound tonight in a Padres uniform. So what happens when you get two struggling offenses, facing two top flight pitchers? You get a pitcher’s duel, where runs are hard to come by. The Cubs allowed just eight runs in a three-game series vs. the Cards, and went away empty, getting swept three games to none. The problem is that they managed just two runs in the three games! The Cubs’ bats were 14-91 in the three games good for a .154 average. Jake Peavy certainly isn't a remedy for a struggling lineup. The Padres met a different fate, scoring just seven runs in their three-game sweep of the Giants because the pitching allowed just four in the three games. Both of these teams have their aces on the hill and with struggling bats, this one says UNDER.
