The rubber match between the Cubs and Padres will pit the top two teams in the majors in regards to run differential against each other. Many baseball experts expect to see these teams playing in the postseason and could meet in a potential high stakes series in October. That may seem like wishful thinking since it is only April. However, both the Cubs and Padres are on an early pace to do just that. As long as each one continues to stay above .500 against teams with winning records, it could certainly happen.
