The MLB schedule has started off fairly strong, as many of the top teams have fallen short of their predictions to start the year. These two MLB teams have similar records, and will be a great game to watch tonight. I look at this game as three games that will either help or hurt a team’s record, and I believe that the Padres vs Cubs odds will have the Padres winning tonight.
The MLB standings have the Cubs in third place in the NL Central. The Cubs have started this year with a record of 12-9, which is one of the best starts the Cubs have had in a few years. The Padres are in third place as well in the NL West. The Padres have started the year with a record of 12-12. San Diego Padres look to win these next few games on the road to boost their record.
For the MLB Injury Report, the Cubs star Cody Bellinger will be out as he is on Paternity as of now. For the Padres they will have multiple stars out for the next 10 days as they try and regroup after having a lot of injuries so early in the season. The MLB games tonight will be great, but I believe this will be the best game to watch tonight.

San Diego Padres vs. Chicago Cubs Betting Preview
Starting Pitchers
Drew Smyly (Chicago Cubs)
The MLB player stats have Smyly coming into this game with a record of 2-1 this season with four games played. The Chicago Cubs roster has some great pitchers on staff as for Smyly’s last outing he was able to shutout the Dodgers with 10 Ks.
Michael Wacha (San Diego Padres)
The start of the season Wacha has gone 2-1 in his last four games. Wacha has impressed me this season and he will continue to pitch well in tonight’s game. Wacha needs a bounce-back start as in his last four innings he had given up 10 hits against the Diamondbacks.
