Tonight we are getting the return of Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Justin Steele. Steele will be making his first start on the Injured List when he faces the San Diego Padres tonight in Wrigley Field.
The Cubs and Padres will be playing their second three-game series of the season, with the Padres leading 2-1. This is a pick 'em game according to the oddsmakers, so instead of going with a Money Line play, I am playing a first-inning run prop that is more approachable.
