Los Angeles Dodgers at Chicago Cubs Betting Tips – Dodgers To Avenge Last Night's MLB Loss
The Los Angeles Dodgers, despite a recent rough patch with four straight losses, look poised to rebound against the Chicago Cubs. LA has been strong on the road, winning 13 of their last 19 away games, and sends in-form pitcher Tarik Skubal (2.79 ERA, 116 strikeouts) tonight. While the Cubs claimed victory in the last matchup and have mixed form, the Dodgers are still baseball’s most dynamic offense. Backing LA to cover the -1.5 run line and the Over 9.0 total runs is recommended.
- Dodgers have lost four straight but excel on the road (13 wins in last 19)
- Tarik Skubal (2.79 ERA) starts for LA; Cubs' Assad (3.75 ERA) pitches for Chicago
- Dodgers favoured to win and Over 9.0 runs is a strong bet
Los Angeles are tipped to bounce back from last night’s loss in the ‘Friendly Confines’.
The Dodgers bats continue to fire, and tonight they turn to new addition Tarik Skubal, who had been in tremendous form for Detroit before making the move to LA.

Verdict
Los Angeles’ losing skid reached four games last night, but nobody in the camp is panicking.
The Dodgers are still the best offensive team in the entire league, and tonight they get to send in-form Skubal to the mound, so we are backing them to stop the rot here.
