The San Deigo Padres starting pitcher Greg Maddux looked fantastic against the Giants in his last outing, allowing six hits over six scoreless innings while striking out six batters for the win. Wade Miller, his Cubs right handed opponent (0-1, 13.50) looked shaky in his opening assignment giving up 6 runs on 9 hits in just 4 innings of work. Considering the pitching matchup, betting on the Padres here looks like a viable bet. San Diego has won 7 of the Last 8 meetings in this series. Cubs are 9-23 in the last 31 as underdogs.
