This is a 10* play on the Chicago Cubs +1.5.

The Cubs are on the brink of clinching the NLCS versus L.A., but they will face the Dodgers ace in Game 6 at Wrigley.

Clayton Kershaw was dominant in a win in Chicago in Game 2, but he had surrendered eight runs on 15 hits in his previous two starts in these playoffs. Here is what I said about Kershaw before the NLDS versus Washington: "While he's widely considered to be the best pitcher of his generation, Kershaw hasn't had much success in the post-season. He owns a career record of 2-5 with a 4.59 ERA in the playoffs."

The Cubs hand the ball to Kyle Hendricks, who had the lowest ERA in the majors during the regular season, and he was particularly strong at Wrigley. The 26 year old was 9-2 with a 1.32 ERA in 14 starts in Chicago, and he was dominant in his only start versus the Dodgers.

The Dodgers are 4-8 in the last 12 meetings between the two teams, and three of those four wins came by a single run.

Take CHC.
