Padres 51-30 at Petco, Cubs starter unsettled

San Diego lines up Nick Pivetta (2.86 ERA, 42 K in 34.2 innings since returning from a flexor strain) while Chicago had still not named a Game 2 arm, with Kevin Gausman (4.51 ERA, non-throwing shoulder soreness), Clay Holmes (3.29) and Shota Imanaga (3.77) all in play. Petco Park, where the Padres went 51-30, plus a bullpen fronted by Mason Miller, Adrian Morejon and Robert Suarez is the whole edge. Priced about right at roughly -120; Pivetta's limited workload caps the conviction.
