San Francisco Giants Form

San Francisco entered this series on a three-game losing skid that had halted a recent good run.

The Giants ended August by winning four of their final five games, starting with an 8-5 home win against Atlanta that prevented them from being swept.

They then backed that up with 4-1 and 6-1 wins against Cincinnati, before losing the series finale 4-1.

San Francisco hit back immediately with a 7-2 victory in San Diego, but that would prove to be their only win in four meetings with the Padres.

The Giants ended last week by losing three consecutive games at Petco Park, falling to 7-3, 6-1 and 4-0 defeats.

Chicago Cubs Form

Chicago came into this series on the back of a win and in solid form with 11 wins in their last 16 games.

The Cubs’ sequence started with 6-4 and 4-3 wins against Kansas City, followed by a 7-6 victory in Detroit.

Their winning run was ended by an 8-6 defeat to the Tigers, but they hit back to take the final game 6-4, and then won three of their four games in Pittsburgh.

Chicago dropped the series opener when they returned home to face Milwaukee, losing 6-2, only to rebound with 1-0 and 3-2 wins before heading to Cincinnati to beat the Reds 6-2.

The Cubs lost the next two games of that series, 3-2 and 2-1, but avenged those losses with a 15-7 victory on Sunday to split the series.

Verdict

Chicago are in good form and Kyle Hendricks has repeatedly got the better of San Francisco over the years, so we are backing the Cubs to 'fly the W' once again.
