Los Angeles at Chicago

Los Angeles is a long way from home, and is in the second game of a 10-game trip. The trip began badly with a 4-2 loss to the Cubs yesterday as -180 favorite with their ace going. Los Angeles has dropped six of its last eight contests and is a bad road team. The Dodgers are 2-7 against a team with a winning record. Zack Greinke is on the hill, but the Dodgers have totaled four runs in the last three games Greinke has started and have scored two or fewer six of the last seven times he has taken the mound. Greinke has a 4.30 ERA against the Cubs, but is 0-2 with an 11.57 ERA in three outings at Wrigley Field. The Cubs have won three straight and are 5-2 as a home underdog, plus 14-6 against a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15. Cubs righty Jason Hammel (5-2, 2.89) is having a strong campaign and the team is 13-3 when he faces a team with a winning record. Play the Cubs.
