Los Angeles at Chicago

The LA Dodgers got of to a horrific start. And with a lot of underachieving players, and a lot of injuries, no one is sure how good this team really is. They have barely achieved .500 since the start of last season, outside of their historic 52-9 run. They are off an eight game homestand, won five of the last six, but did lose the finale yesterday to the Giants. The Cubs are playing well, and have turned it up a notch at home, where they are 17-9 in their last 26. This will be the first trip to Chicago this season for the Dodgers, and the Cubs own a 7-4 mark in the last 11 played here. The Dodgers have struggled to score runs in the 11 games, producing two or fewer runs in nine of them, and have been shutout three times here in the 11 games. Take the Cubs in Game 1.
