Chicago at Los Angeles

The Cubs have been doing a freefall over the last two weeks that have seen them strike the win column on just three occasions over their last 11 games. The pitching has been consistent, but unfortunately that consistency is bad. The Cubs’ chuckers have allowed 68 runs over their last 11 outings, good for an opponent’s average of 6.2 runs per game. That shows that the Cubbies, with a 27-run deficit over the stretch, opens the door for a valued runline play on the Dodgers who are 113-55 in their last 168 at home vs. a losing team.
