Cubs vs. Padres Best MLB Prop Bets

Cubs Best MLB Prop Bet

Moises Ballesteros OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (+108)

Moises Ballesteros may not exactly be a household name, but the Cubs slugger is trying to change that. He’s off to a fantastic start this season, hitting .387 with a 1.144 OPS through 62 at bats.

Those numbers are even more impressive when you consider that he started the season 3 for 20. Since then, he’s batting .500 (21 for 42) with five doubles and five home runs.

He sometimes comes off the bench, so make sure he’s in the starting lineup, but he should be against a righthander. He’s batting .404 vs. RHP this season.

Cubs vs. Padres Prediction and Pick

The Walker Buehler experience in San Diego hasn’t gone too smoothly. The veteran lasted just 2.2 innings last time out, allowing four runs on eight hits while walking three. That was his second time being chased in the third inning through five starts this season.

I’ll take the Cubs as slight road favorites after forcing San Diego’s bullpen to throw four innings last night. A short night for Buehler could really eat into that further, and Edward Cabrera has been great on the mound for Chicago.

Pick: Cubs -120
