The San Diego Padres will have payback on their minds tonight when they host the Chicago Cubs in Game 1 of a 3-game set at Petco Park. The Cubs swept the Pads at Wrigley in their last meeting, outscoring them 17-6 in the 3 game series, but that was then and this is now. The Friars are due for a win, having lost two straight, and are 20-12 in San Diego. Chicago gets it done at home but on the road they are 12-16.
TONIGHT’S PICK: SAN DIEGO PADRES
