We saw this same starting pitching matchup just 5 days ago. Dodgers starter Michael Grove and Cubs starter Jameson Taillon both pitched well, allowing just 2 hits a piece. Neither starter recorded a decision, but LA won the game 2-1. The Dodgers closed as a (-145) betting favorite in that matchup (in Los Angeles). This game is in Chicago, and the Dodgers are underdogs this time around. It’s worth noting, Jameson Taillon has struggled in his two starts at Wrigley Field this season. Michael Grove struggled in his only road start this season. This will be just the 4th career road start for the 26 year old. In a starting pitching matchup with question marks on both sides, we look to the bullpens and offenses. The Cubs bats are hot right now, and they’ve won 4 straight games. That said, our metrics still show a solid edge for the Dodgers offense. The Cubs look to be headed toward some regression, while the Dodgers are playing well below their expected numbers. The Cubs bullpen holds the better ERA, WHIP, and leads the Dodgers in most other metrics at the moment. However, the sample size is still very small. We will take the plus money in a rare buy low spot on the struggling Dodgers. Our wager is a half unit.
