The Chicago Cubs look to even their series with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Cubs rank second in runs per game at 6.40. Their pitching, especially out of the pen, has not been as good. The bullpen ranks 25th in MLB with a 4.97 ERA. Ben Brown gets the start for the Cubs. So far this season, he has posted a 7.71 ERA and a 2.23 WHIP. The Dodgers are 7-0 at home this season. They are putting up 4.93 runs per game, which is 8th best. Roki Sasaki gets the nod for Los Angeles. He has made three starts this season, and has posted a 4.15 ERA. The Dodgers’ bullpen is fourth with a 2.25 ERA. Ben Brown has struggled as a starter, and Chicago’s bullpen has been one of MLB’s worst. Brown faced Los Angeles in Tokyo and gave up three runs (two earned) over 2.2 innings pitched. LA has a lock down bullpen and despite the Cubs offensive output, they scored a ton of runs against the A’s in a three game series, I think the Dodgers has a more potent lineup.

Play on the LA Dodgers minus 1.5 runs. This is a 3% play.
