Los Angeles Dodgers vs Chicago Cubs Prediction: Californians' sixth consecutive win over the Chicagoans?

The Los Angeles Dodgers picked up both of the opening games of their home series against the National League underdog Chicago Cubs. Will the Dodgers confirm their status as favorites in game three as well? Let's pick a few bets at once.

Los Angeles Dodgers

The second home win against the Chicago Cubs was the fifth in a row. Before that, the Dodgers beat Colorado three times in a row (5:3, 5:2, 2:1). In the last ten games, the team has nine wins, including a 3:1 series with the top National League West Division rival San Diego Padres. In short, the Los Angeles Dodgers are in good shape.

Starting on the pitching hill for the Dodgers in Game 3 of their home series with the Cubs will be Clayton Kershaw, 5-2 and a 2.57 ERA in 10 games.

Chicago Cubs

In the second game of their road series with the Dodgers, the team led 3:2 in the ninth inning but allowed their opponent to level the score, resulting in a 3:4 extra-inning loss. The Cubs played a quality game, but it wasn't enough to beat today's Dodgers. The Chicago Cubs are in third place in the National League Central Division standings with a 34-50 balance and are already far behind quintet leaders Milwaukee and St. Louis.

Markus Stroman will pitch for the third series game at Dodger Stadium, 2-5, with a 5.32 ERA in nine games.

Expert Betting Tips

The Dodgers have beaten the Cubs in all five head-to-head games this season and have now improved to the point where success for the Dodgers in the sixth game of the contest looks inevitable, especially with Clayton Kershaw on the pitching hill.
