San Diego Padres vs Chicago Cubs 6/16/2022 Picks Predictions Previews

The San Diego Padres will go against the Chicago Cubs in MLB action in Wrigley Field, IL, on Thursday, June 16, 2022, at 2:20 PM ET.

The San Diego Padres got off to a fast start in the 2022 regular season, presently sitting in second place in the National League West. They’ve also been doing admirably on the attacking side of the field.

They earned 12 runs in the second game of the series and will want to score even more in the third. They are now hitting.237 as a team and scoring 4.51 runs per game.

This club has the 12th greatest per-game run total and the 20th highest team batting average. They demonstrated that they can score with anyone, but they must continue to reach base and drive in runs when they have men in scoring position.

The Padres also found that their lineup does not have as much home run power as they previously assumed. They are managing only .78 home runs per game, which ranks them 27th in the MLB.

For the Padres, Joe Musgrove will receive the start on the mound. He’s off to a 7-0 start this year with a 1.50 ERA. In his 72.0 innings of work, he also struck out 72 hitters. It’s also difficult to get on base against him, as he has a.93 WHIP this season.

The San Diego Padres are 7-2 SU in their last 9 matches.
San Diego is 4-1 SU in their last 5 matches against the Chi Cubs.
The Padres are 6-0 SU in their last 6 matches on the road.

San Diego Padres vs Chicago Cubs Predictions 6/16/2022

The Chicago Cubs did not have a good start to the 2022 regular season, as they are now on a five-game losing skid. They are presently in fourth position in the National League Central, but there is still time to turn things around.

They are scoring 4.25 runs per game and hitting.242 as a team on the offensive side of the ball. This is the 15th greatest overall team batting average and the 18th most runs scored per game.

They demonstrated they can get on base consistently, but they failed to hit with runners on base. On the mound, Matt Swarmer will make his debut. He’s 0-1 with a 4.24 ERA in his first start of the season. However, he underperformed against the Yankees in his prior start.

In 5.0 innings of work, he gave up six earned runs. In addition, he only pitched 17.0 innings this season.

The Chi Cubs are 0-9 SU in their last 9 matches.
The total went OVER in 4 of the Chi Cubs’ last 5 matches against San Diego.
The Cubs are 0-5 SU in their previous 5 matches at home.

San Diego Padres vs Chicago Cubs. The MLB pick for this game is the San Diego Padres. In this match, I’ll be riding with the San Diego Padres. They have Joe Musgrove on the mound and are currently one of the finest defensive clubs in the league. He’s off to a 7-0 start this season with a 1.50 ERA.

The Cubs’ bats are chilly of late, and I don’t think they’ll be able to cover this run line spread. San Diego also has the fifth-lowest team WHIP rating and allows the fifth-fewest runs per game.

When the Cubs are at the plate, they will be limited and scoring will be difficult. The Padres also rank 12th in runs scored per game, and I expect them to capitalize on the offensive side of the field in this contest.

The Cubs surrender the 26th most runs per game and have the 23rd highest WHIP rating of any club. Throughout this match, the Padres will continuously reach base and score sufficient runs to cover the run line (-1.5).

I like the Padres when Musgrove is on the mound because they are the superior club. The San Diego Padres will win to a predicted score of 7-4.
