My Bonus Play is on the Chi Cubs at 10:10 ET. The 52-38 Chicago Cubs come to San Diego for the last three games before the break trailing the 55-39 Milwaukee Brewers by a game in the National League Central. Chicago had its three-series winning streak snapped by San Francisco on Wednesday (dropped two of three games to the Giants), while the Padres limp into the break having lost 18 of their last 24 games to fall 12 1/2 games out of first place in the NL West at 40-56.
Tyler Chatwood (3-5, 5.01 ERA) will start Friday's game for the Cubs. He struggled again in his last outing, allowing seven runs on nine hits while throwing a career-high 120 pitches over 5 2/3 innings against Cincinnati this past Saturday in an 8-7 Chicago win (Chatwood got a no-decision). The former Colorado Rockie (he pitched from 2012-2017 for the Rockies) has been a disappointment in 2018 for Chicago, having worked at least six innings in only three of his 16 starts this season, while walking five or more batters nine different times. However, Chatwood has a solid 6-2 record in 13 career games (11 starts) versus San Diego, despite a poor 4.17 ERA.
San Diego lefty Clayton Richard (7-8, 4.50 ERA) takes the mound for the Padres, after seeing his streak of pitching six or more innings snapped at 11 consecutive starts this past Sunday against Arizona. He came away with a no-decision in that start, after allowing three runs over five innings of a 4-3 San Diego win over the Diamondbacks. Richard comes in 6-4 with a 3.70 ERA and a 56-to-22 KW ratio over his last 12 starts (Padres went 8-4). The lefty owns a 2-1 record and 2.60 ERA in four career starts versus the Cubs.
Chicago sits one game back of first-place Milwaukee in the National League Central but needs to be careful not to overlook San Diego, which won the season series by a 4-2 margin last year. I noted that Richard has been solid in his last 12 starts overall but he has struggled over his last three starts, allowing 12 runs on 21 hits and 10 walks against just seven strikeouts in 18 innings for a 6.00 ERA and a 1.72 WHIP. Yes, Chatwood has not had a good season but I did note his solid 6-2 career mark vs San Diego above and will add here that his performances in Petco Park are impressive. He is 4-1 with a 2.84 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and .195 opponents' batting average in San Diego's home field. Cubs Win! Cubs Win!
Good luck...Larry
