The Los Angeles Dodgers have won seven of their last nine games overall and five of their last seven against the Cubs. Mike Bolsinger gets the call on Wednesday after an 8-2 win over Cincinnati on May 24 while giving up two runs and three hits in 5 2/3 innings. Bolsinger is filling for injured starter Hyun-Jin Ryu. The last two years against Chicago, Bolsinger has a 1.59 ERA in 11 1/3 innings. The Cubs managed only one hit in Tuesday's 5-0 loss as Scott Kazmir pitched six shutout innings and the bullpen blew the game for Jake Arrieta. Chicago has lost two of Jon Lester's last three starts and he has a 5.19 ERA against the Dodgers the last three seasons. There is huge value in the road underdog in this matchup, so take the Dodgers.
