This is a 10* on LAD

The Cubs shocked us last night, not only beating the Dodgers but no-hitting them! The 4-0 win was certainly not what we had envisioned when playing the Dodgers on the run line. Los Angeles is now 0-4 vs. Chicago this year and yesterday was their fourth straight loss overall. Earlier this week, they were swept in San Diego. There’s a real sense of “underachieving” hovering around the team right now, but we are doubling down tonight and saying the Dodgers put an end to this madness with an emphatic win Friday. The Cubs are 2-7 as road underdogs of +125 to +175 this year. They are 8-16 in that role the last three seasons. The Dodgers had been shut out only one other time this year (before last night) and in that case they came back to win 3-0 the next day. They are 6-1 since 2019 after being shutout. They are 3-0 in Gonsolin starts in 2021 (that’s who is starting today). Jake Arrieta is 0-4 with an 8.25 ERA his last five starts for Chicago. The Dodgers, despite the recent woes, should still be considered one of MLB’s elite teams. They are not going to lose every game to the Cubs this year. We don’t need to lay the -1.5 today and a Dodgers win here seems quite likely. Play on LA DODGERS
