San Diego Padres vs Chicago Cubs 30 September 2026 Prediction

Gevorg Danielyan   Prediction by   Gevorg Danielyan     September 29, 2026 

The Padres secured the No. 4 seed, giving them home-field advantage against the Cubs in the Wild Card round.

San Diego Padres vs Chicago Cubs Prediction: Padres Handicap -1.5

Playing at Petco Park should give San Diego an edge. The Padres have also been better defensively than the Cubs. Our pick is Padres -1.5 runs at 2.64.

San Diego has defended well this season. A strong outing from its starting pitcher could help keep Chicago’s scoring down. The Cubs also have capable pitchers in their rotation. The Padres averaged 4.4 runs per game during the regular season, making under 6.5 total runs at 2.23 another option.

Editor’s pick

San Diego Padres -1.5 runs@164
