Chicago Cubs -1.5 (+115) [Marquis over Estes] for 2 Units
Padres/Cubs 8:05: We'll spot a few runs to SD with a hot hitting Cubs team that's playing very well at Wrigley. Chicago, which is averaging 7.1 rpg at home and against lefties, should get the best of former Cubs hurler Shawn Estes, who's working his way back from elbow reconstruction. Estes, who hasn't started a MLB game in more than two years, looked shaky in his relief appearance vs Atlanta last Thursday. We do realize that SD has gotten the best of this series, but as a traveler, the offensively challenged Padres are driving in just 3.2 rpg on a .237 BA, and show little strength in the bullpen (5.37 ERA). We'll look for Jason Marquis to settle in here. Marquis controls a 3.38 ERA in his last 5 starts vs SD, including allowing just 2 ER over his last 13 IP. And the Chicago bullpen (1.80 ERA last 10) should continue to get it done against the light hitting Padres.
