The Chicago Cubs (47–38, UP 1-0 with WALK-OFF WIN!) host the San Diego Padres (43–40, DROPPED 3 STRAIGHT, DESPERATE!) in Game 2 of their three-game series at Wrigley Field on Tuesday night!

Now we’re FACING the Padres who have DROPPED 3 STRAIGHT and are TRYING to “stop the bleeding!” MATTHEW BOYD (2-1, 5.02 ERA) faces JP SEARS (1-0, 3.18 ERA!) in what should be another DOMINANT home performance! We’re HEAVY FAVORITES (-157!) and we’re POSITIONED to take complete control of the series!
