Cubs vs Dodgers Prediction

The Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers face off on Sunday in an MLB showdown at Dodger Stadium. The two teams have split the first two games of this series. 

Cubs Betting Preview

The Cubs sit with a 7-6 record overall and even though they lost on Saturday they were competitive. The Cubs only gave up two runs total, but the offense didn’t do enough as they lost by a run. The Cubs offense overall is averaging 5.38 runs per game which is 6th best in the league. On the mound for the Cubs will be Max Scherzer who sits with a 2-1 record and an ERA of 4.41. In his last start against the San Diego Padres, he went five innings giving up one hit and zero runs. 

Dodgers Betting Preview

The Dodgers sit with an 8-7 record overall and even though they won on Saturday they can’t be happy with the way the offense performed. The Dodgers only finished with five hits and two runs. The Dodgers are averaging 5.53 runs per game which 4th in the league and the pitching staff is ranked 9th. On the mound for the Dodgers will be Julio Urias who sits with a 3-0 record and an ERA of 1.50. In his last start he went six innings giving up four hits and one run.

Shane’s Free Pick

Julio Urias is going to lockdown again here, and the Cubs bats are going to be ice cold like they were on Saturday. I do expect the Dodgers are going to give Urias some run support here though, and that is going to be the difference as the Dodgers are going to secure the win. Back the Dodgers -1.5.
