My Baseball Best Bet for Monday was:
8:05pm ET
MLB
San Diego Padres (Wolf) at Chicago Cubs (Zambrano)
The Pick: Chicago Cubs (listed pitchers) RUN LINE -1.5 +115
San Diego is hitting just .231 on the season, .236 vs. righties (3.2 RPG), and .225 at night (2.9 RPG). But they’re coming off an 11-hit outing yesterday. That’s actually good news for us, as the Padres are 0-8 this season off a double-digit hit performance. On the other end of the offensive spectrum is the Cubs. Chicago is batting .313 at home (6.9 RPG), .288 vs. lefties (6.6 RPG), and .280 at night (6.2 RPG). The Cubs are 14-6 at home, while the Padres are 6-14 on the road.San Diego’s Randy Wolf is struggling. Wolf owns a 6.75 ERA and 1.750 WHIP in his last 3 starts. The Padres are 1-3 in Wolf’s road starts this season. The bullpen won’t be much help either, as the Padres pen owns a 4.95 ERA and 1.651 WHIP on the road.
Chicago’s Carlos Zambrano is on fire. He owns a 1.80 ERA and 1.109 WHIP on the season, including a 0.42 ERA and 1.125 WHIP in his last 3 starts. He should have no trouble with these light-hitting Padres, especially considering he owns a 1.94 ERA and 1.187 WHIP in 7 career starts vs. the Padres. The Cubs bullpen sports a solid 1.149 WHIP at home, where they’ve converted 6 of 7 save chances.
The hitting, starting pitching, and relief pitching all favor the Cubs, which makes this a no-brainer. Take the Cubs with Zambrano on the run line over San Diego and Wolf.
