Colin Rea has pitched very well for the Chicago Cubs, but his two best starts came against an 8-18 Philadelphia Phillies team. He ranks 26th among today’s projected starters in soft contact rate. He’s not generating much. That’s not a great recipe heading into a matchup with the Los Angeles Dodgers, who rank first in hard-hit rate against righties this season. He doesn’t miss many bats, and that could lead to problems against a powerful Dodgers offense. Make the play on the LA Dodgers.

Chicago at Los Angeles
April 24, 2026
10:15 PM Eastern
Los Angeles snapped a two-game skid with a 3-0 victory over the Giants on Thursday as Tyler Glasnow and Tanner Scott combined on a one-hitter. All three games in the series stayed UNDER, and the Dodgers are on an 8-3 UNDER run. They are 9-3 at home this season, and while Chicago is on a nine-game win streak, the Cubs are just 5-4 away from home. Los Angeles has won three of Emmet Sheehan's four starts. Jameson Taillon has allowed 11 runs (10 earned) on 20 hits in 22 2/3 innings. The Dodgers are hitting .266 with an .840 OPS against Taillon, including five homers in 79 at-bats. The Dodgers allowed only 3.28 runs per game in 2026. Take the Dodgers and the UNDER.
