MLB Betting Trends

Chicago

The Cubs are 4-0 in their last four games versus the NL West. Chicago is 5-2 in the last seven Hendricks starts.

San Diego

The Padres are 2-5 in their last seven games versus the NL Central. San Diego is 6-13 in its last 19 series openers.

Prediction: 

Quantrill has seemingly hit a speed bump in his rookie season as he was torched by a pair of good offenses in the Dodgers and D-backs in his last two outings. I can't trust him here against a talented Cubs offense, although it is one now without the services of the injured Javier Baez. With Hendricks pitching well lately and the Padres not having a dynamic offense, I think Chicago stops its skid here. Go with the favorites.
