Edward Cabrera’s Cubs career has started out well. He’s allowed no more than three earned runs in any of his five starts (two unearned runs last Thursday helped force extras), and he’s allowed just two home runs in 29.2 innings.
His K rate is down a bit from last year, but as long as the team is getting results (they’ve won four of the five games he’s started), I’m not going to quibble with that.
The last time he faced the Padres, July 22, 2025 at Miami, he allowed one run in 5.2 innings, with no walks and six strikeouts. The Cubs probably need him to go a bit longer tonight, what with the current bullpen issues.
Walker Buehler was once one of the top starters in MLB, but injuries have pretty much ruined that. At age 31 he’s a reclamation project for the Padres, and it is not going well: 5.75 ERA, 1.623 WHIP in 20.1 innings over five starts. One of those starts was six scoreless vs. the Rockies. In the other four: 8.16 ERA, nine walks in 14.1 innings.
The last time he faced the Cubs was Sept. 9, 2024 in Los Angeles. He allowed nine hits and five runs in five innings. Michael Conforto has homered twice off him in 11 career at-bats.
Today’s game is on Marquee Sports Network. It’s also on MLB Network (outside the Cubs and Padres market territories).

The 2026 game discussion procedure has been changed, so please take note.
You’ll find the game preview, like this one, posted separately on the front page two hours before game time (90 minutes for some early day games following night games).
At the same time, a StoryStream containing the preview will also post on the front page, titled “Cubs vs. (Team) (Day of week/date) game threads.” It will contain every post related to that particular game.
The Live! (formerly “First Pitch”) thread will still post at five minutes to game time. It will also post to the front page. That will be the only live game discussion thread. After the game, the recap and Heroes and Goats will also live on the front page as separate posts.
You will also be able to find the preview, Live! thread, recap and Heroes and Goats in this section link. The StoryStream for each game can also be found in that section.
