The Cubs send their ace Justin Steele for the Wednesday start, who has a 1.45 ERA with just two home runs allowed across seven starts and 43 1/3 innings this season.

Reigning American League Cy Young Award winner Justin Verlander is making his second start with the New York Mets. After allowing two solo home runs in the first inning in the first start, he didn’t allow any more runs and looked like his normal self.

Padres vs. Twins Total 8..5. Greg’s Total 7.8.
The Twins are last in the league in batting average while the Padres are second-worst in the National League in batting average and runs per game.
