Chicago Cubs at Los Angeles Dodgers Preview & Picks

Los Angeles are tipped to beat Chicago for the third time this season.

The Dodgers have had some issues over the past several days, but they are back home for this one and Yoshinobu Yamamoto is getting the start.

  • Los Angeles Dodgers are 2-0 against Chicago this season
  • Los Angeles Dodgers are 6-0 at home so far this season
  • The Over has cashed in 8 of the previous 10 meetings
  • The Over has hit in 4 of Los Angeles' last 6 home games

Head To Head

  • Los Angeles Dodgers lead the all-time series 1083-1059-14
  • Los Angeles Dodgers won 6-3 when the two teams last met on March 19

Chicago Cubs Form

Chicago head to Los Angeles on the back of defeat, but having won seven of their last nine games to improve their record to 9-6.

The Cubs opened the season in Japan, where they lost back-to-back meetings with the Dodgers, and then returned to the US to split a four-game series in Arizona.

They finished their travels on a strong note though as they swept the Athletics with 18-3, 7-4 and 10-2 wins.

Chicago then won their first two home games, beating San Diego 3-1 and 7-1, but they missed out on the series sweep as they dropped the final meeting 8-7.

The Cubs rebounded to record 7-0 and 10-6 wins over Texas, but they again missed out on a sweep as they lost the third game 6-2.

Los Angeles Dodgers Form

Los Angeles return home on the back of a rough road trip that saw them win just twice in six games to fall to 10-4.

The defending champion Dodgers opened the season with back-to-back wins in Japan, beating the Chicago Cubs 4-1 and 6-3.

They then swept Detroit and Atlanta in back-to-back home series, beating the Tigers 5-4, 8-5 and 7-3 before downing the Braves 6-1, 3-1 and 6-5.

Los Angeles’ run ended at eight games as they lost 3-2 in Philadelphia, and they then failed to build on a 3-1 win over the Phillies as they lost the final meeting 8-7.

That was followed by 6-4 and 8-2 losses in Washington, but the Dodgers were able to avoid being swept as they took the last game 6-5.

Verdict

Los Angeles have cooled off over the past several days, but that was on the road.

The Dodgers have been dominant at home this season and Yamamoto has posted a 1.68 ERA so far, so we are backing LA to get back on track.
