MLB Free Picks - Cubs (20-24) at Padres (26-20)
by Eric Williams
Okay MLB Bettors, if you saw yesterday’s pick I made on this series, hopefully your pockets are slightly fatter after collecting your winnings.
Though I am back with what should be another winner for baseball bettors in this series tonight, be forewarned that this game is much tougher to call because of each team’s solid starter tonight.
Here is a look at tonight’s key trends, followed by my MLB Free Pick:
Key Cubs Trends
The Cubs are 4-1 in their last 5 games after losing the first 2 games of a series.
The Cubs are 7-3 in their last 10 road games vs. a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600.
The Cubs are 11-5 in their last 16 games vs. a right-handed starter.

The Pitchers: Cubs starter Jason Marquis has been very solid in posting a 5-1 record in nine starts over 58.2 innings. Marquis has 29 Ks, 17 walks and an impressive 2.76 ERA.
Padres starter Chris Young is 5-3 in nine starts covering 53.0 innings. Young has recorded 43 Ks and 23 walks and has a solid 2.89 ERA
Both Marquis and Young have been very solid for their respective teams. I would probably take Marquis if the Cubs were at home, but the fact is that the Cubs are on the road in this one and, even worse, are 1-10 in the last eleven games against the Padres.
Take Young to help the Padres win a close one.
