The Padres have had flashes of brilliance on the year so far, but those flashes tend to be inconsistent and not really are playing well enough to bring home wins on a regular basis. What else is a major issue for the Padres is the fact that the team is a game under the five hundred mark on the year on the road. The Cubs, though, are playing decent on the season so far and are 9 games over the five hundred mark on the road, but when playing at home the Cubs are 18 games over the five hundred mark.

The Cubs are definitely looking good heading into this game. The Cubs are putting out Hendricks to the mound and he has been a shut down pitcher on the year when it comes to run scoring. What else helps the Cubs out is the fact that Quantrill is not the best pitcher for the Padres and he has given up quite a few runs on the year so far and that will show up here. Final Score, Chicago Cubs win 5-1.
