Predictions and Betting Preview for the Padres vs Cubs MLB Regular Season Game on April 25, 2023
- Where: Wrigley Field, Chicago, Illinois
- When: Wednesday, April 26, 2023, 7:40 PM ET
Betting on the San Diego Padres
- Regular Season Record: 12-12
The Padres are starting to win more consistently, and their victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks in three out of four games last weekend was certainly an important step for them. Now, they’ll try to continue their good momentum during their visit to Chicago for this Padres vs Cubs game.
Despite star player Juan Soto being far from his usual level, the San Diego team has managed to improve. The Dominican player is batting .198 with four home runs, nine RBIs, and an OPS of .752 —numbers that aren’t acceptable for a player of his caliber.
Scoring 19 runs in their four games against the Diamondbacks is a sign that the team’s offense is starting to warm up and perform as expected.
Starting Pitcher: Michael Wacha (2-1, 7.08 ERA)
Betting on Chicago Cubs
- Regular Season Record:
The Cubs had a tough weekend against the Dodgers, losing three out of four games at home and putting a damper on their winning streak.
However, they face another tough challenge against the Padres, who many analysts and fans consider to be the top team in the National League.
Although the Cubs’ pitching was one of the best in the MLB before the Dodgers series, allowing 22 runs over four games has dropped their collective ERA to 3.67, now placing them ninth in the league in that category.
The good news for the Cubs is that Cody Bellinger continues to perform well, justifying the team’s decision to invest in him. The former NL MVP is hitting .300 with five home runs, 15 RBIs, and an OPS of .930.
Starting Pitcher: Drew Smily (2-1, 3.13 ERA)
