Cubs at Dodgers
(MLB) Cubs (CHC) vs. Dodgers (LAD),
Total: 9.50 | -105.00 Under
Result: Loss
Dodger pitching actually tightened up very well on the weekend vs. Cleveland, allowing just five runs across the three-game set. Dave Roberts is now hoping for the same from Walker Buehler, who might finally be starting to relocate some of his old stuff as he comes back from injury. Nothing spectacular yet, but he did pitch five serviceable innings vs. the Angels last Tuesday 92 runs and 5 hits) while striking out six, high high-water mark since returning to active duty. Granted, it's been a disappointing season for the Cubs' Kyle Hendricks (3-11, 6.60 ERA), but it's the Chicago offense that makes us believe the "under" might be worth a look here after scoring all of two runs across the three-game weekend set at Wrigley Field vs. the Yankees (though Chicago at least got a 2-1 win on Sunday to remain on the far periphery of NL wild card discussions). Since the Cubs' recent run-scoring eruption, they have scored three runs or fewer in five of their last six games. Play Cubs-Dodgers "Under"
