Trends

San Diego is 7-1 in their last 8 game three’s of a series and 1-9 in their last 10 Thursday games. The under is 5-2-2 in San Diego’s last 9 road games. Chicago is 25-13 in their last 38 games and 17-36 in their last 53 games against the NL West. The under is 5-0 in Chicago’s last 5 Thursday games. San Diego is 5-1 in these two teams last 6 head to head meetings.

Pick

These two teams have split the first two games in this series and will be looking for the series win in this matchup. San Diego has not hit the ball very well to start the season, but they have scored five or more runs in four of their last six games. The Padres will have Seth Lugo on the mound, who has allowed five earned runs in his last 9.2 innings pitched. I like the Padres to get the win here.
