Los Angeles Dodgers vs Chicago Cubs: Odds, Line, Picks, and Predictions May 7, 2022 | 2022 MLB Season
The Dodgers and Cubs have a doubleheader today after yesterday's game was postponed due to inclement weather. Today's game will serve as the first two games of their three-game series.
The Dodgers enter play today, leading the National League West with a 16-7 record, and they are currently on a three-game win streak. Conversely, the Cubs only have the Cincinnati Reds and Washington Nationals as a buffer between them and last place in the National League.
Today, things won't improve for the Cubs as they will have to face Clayton Kershaw in their first game and Tyler Anderson in the second. The Cubs are expected to pitch Drew Smyly and Daniel Norris.

Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Chicago Cubs Best Picks
Clayton Kershaw has been an absolute stud this season, and he's on track for one of the best years of his career. While it may be hard to believe he can stay at this pace all season, bettors should ride with him until he gives us a reason not to.
Clayton Kershaw Over 6.5 Strikeouts
Since being drafted in 2010, Drew Smyly has bounced all over the league, he's never really found his stuff, and as a result, he's never really found a home. However, he's off to a great start this year with a 2.79 ERA in four games started.

Doubleheaders can be hard to bet, but it is always good to look for top preforms from the first game to continue to do well in the second game. Once lineups are announced for game two, bettors should jump on bets.
Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Chicago Cubs Prediction
Winning both games of a doubleheader is difficult, but with the roster the Dodgers have, going up against this Chicago team, I don't think LA will have any trouble taking both games.
