  • Chicago Cubs are 4-3 in their previous 7 games
  • Matt Boyd gave up 3 runs and 4 hits against LA on April 11
  • The Over has cashed in 7 of the last 10 meetings

  • Los Angeles Dodgers lead the all-time series 1084-1062-14
  • Chicago Cubs won 11-10 when the two teams last met on April 22

Los Angeles Dodgers Form

Los Angeles go into the final game of this season on the back of a defeat but having won five of their last seven games.

The Dodgers faltered during the first half of April as they lost six times in a nine-game spell, but they have turned things around over the past couple of weeks.

They bounced back from 16-0 and 4-2 defeats to the Chicago Cubs by sweeping Colorado in a three-game series at home, winning 5-3, 6-2 and 8-7.

Los Angeles then built on that in Texas as they sandwiched a 4-3 defeat to the Rangers with 3-0 and 1-0 victories.

The Dodgers made a losing start to this two-game series however, as they were beaten 11-10 by the Cubs on Tuesday night.

Chicago Cubs Form

Chicago enter the final game of this series on a solid run of form, having now won six of their previous nine games.

The Cubs began this sequence in Los Angeles as they bounced back from a 3-0 defeat to the Dodgers with 16-0 and 4-2 wins over the defending champions.

They then moved on to San Diego where they sandwiched a 2-1 victory over the Padres with 10-4 and 4-2 defeats.

A return home brought about a return to winning ways as Chicago won back-to-back meetings with Arizona, 13-11 and 6-2, only to miss out on the sweep with a 3-2 defeat.

The Cubs responded on Tuesday though, as they won the series opener with Los Angeles, 11-10.

Verdict

Matt Boyd had a rough time against the Dodgers earlier this month and has lost two of his last three starts.

Los Angeles can make it three defeats in four here, getting after the Cubs pitcher to take the second game of this series.
