The Chicago Cubs have been competitive at home this season where they are just two games below the .500 mark, but the road has been a struggle where they reside at 21-35 on the season. They have gotten beaten badly with regularity when they take to the road with 24 of their 35 road losses coming by 2 runs or more, having been outscored by 6.3 to 1.8, or 4.5 runs per game! It is easy to see that they have struggled to score on the road vs. quality pitching. Unfortunately for the Cubbies, they will face another good pitcher here in Hyun-Jin Ryu, who is 12-5 on the season with a 3.44 ERA. Ryu has been at his best lately as he owns a 3-0 record in his last three starts, and has pitched to a 2.37 ERA. The Cubs have been overmatched on the road all season - especially vs. quality pitching. Take the Dodgers on the runline.
