The Padres lost two out of the three games against the Cubs but were only one run away. The first two games ended 5-6, cubs. The last game, the Padres took the win with a four-run lead.

The pitching match ups look pretty equal for this series. As far as ERA goes, for today’s game, Paddack has Vargas beat. The rest of the games will be exciting to watch. The bats for the Padres have been hot lately and we hope they continue that streak into this series.
