Chicago at San Diego

The San Diego Padres' offense took a long time to have a breakout game. The Padres were the last team in MLB to score 7 or more runs in a game, as it took them until game 37 to do so. That has changed since, as they have begun to swing the bats much better, scoring 7 or more runs four times in their last 13, including 11 in the opener vs. the lowly Cubs. Chicago has a miserable 7-16 road record on the season, and they have a long history of struggling on the road vs. a right-handed starter where they are a woeful 29-71 in their last 100 games. This is also not a team built to withstand an anticipated pitching duel, as they are 4-17 in their last 21 to a total of 6.5 or less. The Cubs are just 2-7 in their last nine here, are in a bad spot. Go with San Diego.
