Result: Push

Rating: 8*

The Chicago Cubs defeated the San Diego Padres 5-1 on Monday. I think we'll see more runs scored in Tuesday's meeting.

Jake Arrieta (15-5, 2.75 ERA) takes the ball for Chicago. He's yielded four or more runs in five of his last nine turns and he was tagged with five runs in 5 2/3 innings against Milwaukee his last time out. He's allowed seven runs (six earned) on nine hits and four walks in nine frames in previous meetings with San Diego.

Christian Friedrich (4-9, 4.69) takes the ball for the Padres. The 29 year old southpaw held the Rays to a pair of runs in 6 2/3 innings at Tampa Bay his last time out, but he's compiled a 5.08 ERA in seven starts home at Petco Park on the season. Over is 5-1 in Cubs last six road games vs. a left-handed starter and 6-1 in Friedrich's last seven home starts.
