There are lots of reasons to play on the Cubs here. First, they will be breathing fire setting foot in here as the memory of the three-game sweep at the hands of the Dodgers last year in the playoffs will be in mind. The Dodgers are also in the midst of a bad stretch, dropping each of their last four home series, finishing 4-8 in the 12 games. Two of the four wins came by a single run resulting in just 2-10 mark to a would-be -1.5 runline they face here. The Dodgers are just 1-5 in their last six at home against a winning team. I like the revenge-seeking Cubs on the runline here.
