Chicago Cubs vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
The Cubs were playing well leading up to this series. Their bats have fared well against LA, but their pitching will need to be better. Stroman was on an incredible five-game stretch before the St. Louis Cardinals lit him up for nine runs in four innings. If Stroman can go back to pitching shutouts, the Cubs should pick up the win today.
Chicago (+215) & Under 8 Runs (-115)
