Chicago Cubs vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction

The Dodgers don’t string losses together often and they’re going to be favored pretty much every time out at home. Glasnow is also a fabulous pitcher when he’s right. The problem is Glasnow is still working his way back as a full-time pitcher and he’s allowed four hits and five runs while walking eight through seven innings. A Cubs lineup that produced 16 runs last night should like their chances if those struggles continue. The Cubs have scored double-digit runs three times in the last 11 days. You can do a lot worse than taking a shot with the Cubs and a chance to make two times your money.
