Today’s matchup is between the Chicago Cubs (33-26) and the San Diego Padres (36-25). The Cubs have won 2 of their last 5 games & the Padres have won 2 of their last 5 games.
The Cubs are starting Zach Davies (RHP), who is 2-3 on the season with a 4.94 ERA, 4.71 FIP, 0.358 wOBA, K% of 13%, BB% of 11.5%, 89.2 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1.7 WHIP in 54.2 innings pitched.
The Padres are starting Dinelson Lamet (RHP), who is 1-0 on the season with a 2.5 ERA, 2.70 FIP, 0.321 wOBA, K% of 26.9%, BB% of 9%, 90.4 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1.44 WHIP in 18 innings pitched.
The Cubs are 4th in the Majors in Relieving Pitching (WAR) while the Padres are 9th.
On the hitting side, the Cubs have a .315 wOBA and a .315 OBP with 76 HRs. While the Padres have a .305 wOBA and a .319 OBP with 61 HRs.
The Cubs definitely are the better hitting team while the Padres have the better starting pitcher in Dinelson Lamet. That being said +162 on the Cubs is great value for a game I feel the Padres have maybe a 55/45 edge in at max.
