San Diego at Chicago

San Diego beat the Cubs 5-3 on Wednesday as Fernando Tatis Jr. hit a go-ahead two-run single in the seventh and an RBI single in the ninth. The Padres have now won five of their past seven games and they are 8-5 on the road. Seth Lugo will start today, and Lugo has allowed only seven runs in 22 2/3 innings, with the Padres winning three of his four starts. Chicago hitters are just 5-for-30 against Lugo with a .194 on-base percentage and the Padre bullpen is tied for #4 in the majors with nine saves. Hayden Wesneski has given up 14 runs (12 earned) in four starts for Chicago, which has given him great run support this season. San Diego, though, has won five of the past six meetings at Chicago and the Cubs are 16-35 versus NL West opponents. Make it a Max Play the Padres.
