Los Angeles at Chicago

Ted Lilly has struggled since around the middle of May when he had an ERA of 2.53. He has since worked 120 innings, and pitched to a 4.50 ERA. His recent struggles have shown numbers get even worse, as he has posted a 6.57 ERA in his last four starts. His record stands at an impressive 13-7, but the Cubs are 2-6 in games in which he has not gotten a decision, so they are only 15-13 overall. The Dodgers have had success against LHP all season, standing in plus units for the season. And they have hit Lilly hard the two times they have faced him this season. The Dodgers are playing very well having won 7 of 9 and 13 of 19. The Cubs are just 4-6 in their last 10, and that includes dropping the first two in this series. Eric Stults has only made three starts, but has kept the Dodgers in every game, and the Dodgers pen is amongst the best in baseball this season. We like LA to make it three straight here.
