Analysis
The Chicago Cubs catching money at home in this one has me intrigued, as I believe they're welcoming the suddenly slumping Los Angeles Dodgers, who have lost three in a row. With no time to breathe after losing their three-game home series with the Boston Red Sox, the two-time defending champion Dodgers flew to the Windy City and now face a hungry Chicago team that has a potent enough lineup to terrorize whoever is on the hill for the Dodgers. The Red Sox tagged the Dodgers for 20 runs, outscoring the champs by an average final of 6.7 to 3.3, while Los Angeles has a 5.67 ERA out of the series. Since June 11, the Cubs are 29-15 behind an offense that is hitting .261 and slugging .247 while scoring an average of 6.0 runs per game. Give me the home underdog.
