While the Cubs took 2 of 3 from the Rays, it wasn't the offense leading the way; Chicago scored just 6 runs in the series. They will need more runs than that with Taillon on the mound. It has been a remarkably poor month for the right-hander, with zero wins and an ERA over 10.00 in May. The opposition is hitting a very robust .351 for the month. His opponent has been the reverse. Padres' righty Wacha took a few games to get going, but he has been as good as anyone in the MLB in May, giving up just 3 runs in 32 innings pitched. Add in a very solid bullpen, and it is no wonder the Padres are favored. Their hitting? Still surprisingly poor. They have had the odd high scoring outing lately, but about the best you can say is that they are at least better than the Cubs. They should get their licks in against Taillon and the Cubs' bullpen. Chicago isn't very good as a road team this year. Take San Diego to win this one going away.
