The Padres go from losing two in a row to the Dodgers at home to Wrigley Field on Monday. The streaky Cubs are back playing good baseball. They have won 8 of 10 and just took two in a row at Milwaukee to move back into second place in the NL Central.
The Padres are undecided on their starter as of this writing. Chicago will throw Shota Imanaga and his 4.40 ERA. What that tells us is that if you play MLB lines BetUS, the run total is an outlandish 12. That shows what the book thinks of this pitching matchup.
The Cubs are -150 on the moneyline, with San Diego at +134. As much as it is tempting to go over on the runs, going to stick to the Cubs.
