The San Diego Padres have taken the first two games of a four-game set from the Chicago Cubs. The Padres will go for their third straight win over the Cubs by sending Ryan Weathers to the mound for his first start this season. Last season he was 4-7 with a 5.32 ERA in 30 games (18 starts). The Cubs will counter with Caleb Kilian taking the mound. it will be his second career start. He went five innings, giving up three runs on three hits in the first start of his career. Like things in baseball, it will come down to pitching. The Padres are fifth in baseball with a 3.27 ERA while the Cubs are the fifth-worst with a 4.58 ERA. On the offensive side, the Padres are putting up 5.33 runs a game in their last six games and the Cubs are scoring just 1.5 over their last four. You donat know what you will get from these pitchers but San Diego has the better pen. I am taking the better overall team in this one.

Play on San Diego. This is a 6* play.
