The Chicago Cubs and San Diego Padres have split the first two games of their three-game set. The Cubs will send Jake Arrieta to the mound for today's start. He has posted a 5-6 record with a 5.26 ERA this season to go with 42 strikeouts. Against the Padres, he is 2-2 with a 5.25 ERA and 29 strikeouts. The Padres will look to bounce back from yesterday's defeat by sending former Cub Yu Darvish to the mound. So far this season, he has posted a 6-1 record with a 2.25 ERA and 84 strikeouts

The Cubs are 1-4 in their last 5 road games. The Padres are 16-5 in their last 21 home games and 19-9 in their last 28 overall. Jake Arrieta has not been pitching well as of late and has been giving up runs early in games, He is 3-3 with a 7.24 ERA on the road. Darvish has allowed nine earned runs in his last 34 innings and is 4-1 with a 2.20 ERA at home this season. Both team's pens have been very good this season. The Padres have a huge advantage on the mound and I am taking them on the Run-line as I see Darvish having a huge day against his former team.

Play on the San Diego Padres minus 1.5 runs.
