Predictions and Betting Preview for the Padres vs Cubs MLB Regular Season Game on April 27, 2023
- Where: Wrigley Field, Chicago, Illinois
- When: Thursday, April 27, 2023, 2:20 PM E.T.
Betting on the San Diego Padres
- Regular Season Record: 13-13
Just when it seemed like the Padres’ offense was finally awakening from its slumber, the California team inexplicably went cold again and were shut out on Tuesday in a final 6-0 loss to the Cubs. Fortunately, they regained some firepower with a 5-3 win over Chicago on Wednesday.
Juan Soto went hitless in four at-bats (with two strikeouts) and now has a .188 average and .720 OPS in the 2023 season, which are unacceptable numbers to have by a player who is considered to be one of the best in MLB. It is too early to get concerned, but the Dominican player certainly needs to step up his production if the San Diego team hopes to meet the high expectations placed upon them.
Starting pitcher: Seth Lugo (2-1, 2.78 ERA).
Betting on Chicago Cubs
- Regular Season Record: 13-10
The Cubs are on a roll with six wins in their last 10 games, keeping them in the top of the National League Central Division.
Their batting performance has been impressive, with a team batting average of .278, second only to the best in MLB. They also have the second-best on-base percentage with .351. This offensive power has been boosted by the addition of players like Cody Bellinger and Dansby Swanson.
Pitching-wise, the Cubs have also been solid in the first month of the regular season, with a team ERA of 3.51, the sixth best in MLB. They have struck out 216 batters, ranking ninth in the league.
Starting pitcher: Haiden Wesneski (1-1, 6.23 ERA).
