The Chicago Cubs are tipped to complete a series sweep over the struggling San Diego Padres. The Cubs are red-hot, winning 14 of their last 18 games and each of their last four, while the Padres have lost six of their last eight on the road and are on a four-game losing streak. While San Diego's Walker Buehler is in solid form, Chicago’s current momentum and strong head-to-head advantage make them favorites. Expect the Cubs' bats to challenge even a capable Padres pitcher in the final matchup.
