Contrarian Crusher - Rickenbach MLB Game #956 Monday 10* Top Play Chicago Cubs Money Line (+) vs Los Angeles Dodgers @ 8:05 ET - The Cubs are off of a shutout loss last night and I look for them to respond here. I am well aware of the fact that Tyler Chatwood has had issues with command of his pitches at times this season but he was solid against the Brewers in his most recent start. Also, he shutout LA over 5 innings in his most recent start versus the Dodgers. Chatwood will be opposed by Kenta Maeda. The Dodgers right-hander has not completed more than 4 innings in either of his two career starts versus the Cubs. Maeda also just recently came off the disabled list and, in his first start back, he walked 3 while striking out just 1 versus the free-swinging Rangers. That is not a good sign for him and I expect the Cubs will pound him. The Dodgers winning streak ended yesterday and they've scored an average of just 2.5 runs per game their last 4 games. The Cubs lost 5-0 last night but had previously averaged scoring 9.5 runs per game in winning back to back games at St Louis before the Cardinals got the best of them last night. The Dodgers, the last 2+ seasons, are a combined 27-38 (-$12,500) in road games with a money line between -125 and +125. The Cubs are off of a loss in their most recent home game but had previously won 4 straight at Wrigley Field. The home team has won 16 of the 24 meetings between these teams the past two seasons and we are getting excellent line value with the home dog here. 10* CHICAGO CUBS
