Chicago Cubs vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
I said weeks ago that the Dodgers would be losers on the season, as the losses will come and it doesn’t take much for these inflated lines to give back all of the profit. Here we are. Now, the Dodgers are too talented to stay on the struggle bus for long but I’m not laying juice when they’re in this form. The Cubs are a solid team in their own right as well so getting plus money has value. Sasaki is having a brutal April, allowing 17 hits and 11 runs in 13.2 innings. He’s walked 10 guys during that span as well. No, thanks. Give me the Cubs and the more favorable price.
