Chicago Cubs vs Los Angeles Dodgers Predictions 7/9/2022
The Los Angeles Dodgers are riding a five-game winning streak and they have won nine of their last 10 games. Their pitching has been solid in their win streak, which is not surprising with a staff that ranks second in baseball in team ERA. L.A. has the most wins in the NL and with their solid play as of late has extended their lead in the NL West to six games over the second-place San Diego Padres.
Clayton Kershaw (5-2 2.57 ERA 1.05 WHIP) gets the nod in this game; he pitched a gem in his last outing tossing seven scoreless innings and only allowing four hits but the bullpen and lineup did not help him out in a 4-2 loss to the San Diego Padres.
The Dodgers have lost four of his last five starts, including his last two, but he gave up more than two runs in only one of those outings. Kershaw faced the Cubs in the Windy City on May 7 and went seven innings and did not allow any runs in a 7-0 L.A. win.
- LA Dodgers are 8-1 SU in their last 9 games at home.
- LA Dodgers are 6-1 SU in their last 7 games when playing at home against Chi Cubs.
- The total went UNDER in 6 of LA Dodgers’ last 9 games against an opponent in the NL.
