Chicago at San Diego

The Chicago Cubs have been 10 games better this season than the San Diego Padres, and that is the difference between contending for the playoffs or sitting them out. That has the betting line well in favor of the Cubs here, but not so fast. The Cubs have been brutally bad on the road this season at 29-42 and are on a current three-game road losing streak. San Diego actually has a better record from a home/away standpoint in this contest. The Padres have also had the upper-hand at home vs. the Cubs since 2006 where they have a +12.8% ROI and a winning record. Make the play on San Diego.
