On The Horizon: Cubs vs. Padres Wild Card Series preview
It’s a rematch of last year’s Wild Card Series. Let’s hope for the same result.
The Chicago Cubs and San Diego Padres are set to face off in a Wild Card series, with the Cubs carrying a roster of 12 pitchers and 14 position players. The Padres, on the other hand, have a roster of 11 pitchers and 15 position players. The Cubs, who won last year's Wild Card Series two games to one at Wrigley Field, have struggled against the Padres in recent years, with no wins in three tries at Petco Park.
The Cubs' regular season record at San Diego is 135-130, while their postseason record is 0-3. They have a strong night game record of 96-100 in the regular season at Petco Park. The first game of the series is scheduled for Tuesday at 9 p.m. CT on Peacock/NBC Sports Network, with Dave Flemming, Jim Deshaies, Mark Grant, and Clayton Kershaw as the announcers.
If the Cubs win, they will face the Brewers in a division series beginning Saturday, Oct. 3 in Milwaukee.
