Trends

Los Angeles is 66-30 in their last 96 Sunday games and 0-5 in their last 5 game four’s of a series. The under is 5-1 in Los Angeles’ last 6 Sunday games. Chicago is 5-2 in their last 7 games and 12-6 in their last 18 home games. The over is 4-1 in Chicago’s last 5 Sunday games. Los Angeles is 13-3 in these two teams last 16 head to head meetings.

Pick

Chicago comes into this game after winning five of their last seven, but they have lost two games already in this series. Los Angeles has played inconsistently so far this year, but they will have Clayton Kershaw on the mound, who has allowed two earned runs in his last 13.0 innings pitched. The Cubs will start Marcus Stroman, who has been one of the best pitchers in baseball so far this season. I like the under in this matchup.
