Fanatics Sportsbook Promo Code FOXNEWS350: Bet $20, Get $350 Padres vs Cubs

The least interesting and dramatic of the games yesterday was likely between the Padres and Cubs. Will Game 2 be more competitive? Fanatics Sportsbook is giving you a way to keep it interesting either way with promo code FOXNEWS350, allowing new users to earn $350 on a $20 wager.

The Chicago Cubs are built on their offense, but when the offense doesn’t show up, can they win a game? If yesterday was any indication, they can’t. Chicago gave up two homers in the first inning of Game 1, and this has been a theme for their pitching staff, which has given up more homers than any team in the National League. 

The Cubs could only muster three hits in the game. They did have runners on, but they couldn’t find a way to get the runners in, leaving eight on base. They were also 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position last night. The hitting will need to show, and the pitching will have to improve if they want to be successful.

The San Diego Padres were the best team in baseball in the second half of the season, and snuck all the way up to the top Wild Card spot. The hot streak started with Fernando Tatis Jr. playing better, and he had an outstanding game in Game 1. Tatis Jr. was 2-for-3 with a walk, a home run, and three runs scored. 

The other guy who made some adjustments and started getting hot for the Padres was Manny Machado, who had a very similar stat line to Tatis. He went 2-for-3 with a walk, homer, two RBI, and two runs. Michael King also turned in seven innings of work, with just one hit allowed. 

Will the Cubs offense show up, or will the Padres turn in another great performance and advance to the next round? Bet on your thoughts at Fanatics Sportsbook with promo code FOXNEWS350 to bet $20 and earn $350 in FanCash.
