MLB - San Diego Padres at Chicago Cubs ESPN 7.20pm

A couple of clubs who are a collective 4-16 in their last 20 means that we're unlikely to see a lot of dazzling baseball from Wrigley Field this afternoon.

Jeff Samardzija has been strong at home (2-1, 0.84/1.52 WHIP/ERA) and the Padres are hitting just .238 L5, so the Cubs shouldn't have to put too many runs up to take the game.

Eric Stults has solid enough numbers. He has been lit up by the Cubs before, but it was long enough ago that the memory should have faded, that said, the remaining members of the Chicago lineup are hitting a collective .421 against him, with a .476 OBP.

I like the Cubs, who are hitting .270 L5, to reach Stults today, so I'll give the runs to wring out some value. 

Pick: Chicago Cubs -1.5 @ 29/20; 2.45; 145
