Picks for 6/29/26
MLB
8:05 PM EST
Rotation # 955-956
Padres/Cubs Over 11 runs (loss)
Canning/Imanaga
The Padres have struggled offensively this year, as their home field, Petco Park, is one of the least hitter-friendly fields in the game. The Padres will look to boost their offensive numbers on the road by taking advantage of favorable wind conditions at Wrigley Field against Shota Imanaga, who gave up three home runs in his last start. San Diego starter Griffin Canning has struggled this season and is coming off an outing against the Braves in which he allowed four earned runs in less than an inning of work. Look for both teams to get on the board early as they should be able to take advantage of gusty winds blowing straight out. Look for a higher-scoring game. Take the Over.
