Play: Money Line: -121 Chicago Cubs
Free Pick on Cubs -
I like the value here with the Cubs as a short home favorite against the Dodgers in Thursday's series finale. The two teams have split the first two games of the series, with LA taking yesterday's matchup 2-0. For me this all comes down to today's starting pitching matchup between a couple of lefties in the Dodgers Hyun-Jin Ryu and the Cubs Brett Anderson. The big key here is how these two offenses have fared against left-handed starters. Chicago has faced two and are averaging 7.0 runs/game and hitting .307 as a team. Los Angeles has faced 4 lefty starters and are average 3.2 runs/game and hitting .238 as a team. Going back to last season, the Dodgers are a mere 1-9 in their last 10 games against a left-handed starter and 5-17 in their last 22 against a south paw on the road. Cubs are 37-14 in their last 51 home games and 24-7 in their last 31 after a loss. Take Chicago!
