Which NL Wild Card Team Holds the Edge in Padres vs. Cubs?

The San Diego Padres officially clinched home-field advantage for the upcoming National League Wild Card series following a victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks. The matchup serves as a rematch against the Chicago Cubs, with games set to take place at Petco Park rather than Chicago's Wrigley Field starting on Tuesday.

A position-by-position analysis gives the Padres early advantages at catcher and first base. San Diego catcher Luis Campusano outperformed Chicago's Carson Kelly offensively and defensively. Meanwhile, Padres first baseman Ty France posted an .865 OPS and 4.5 WAR this season, giving San Diego an edge over Cubs first baseman Michael Busch.
