Key Stats

Game Prediction
Chicago shocked everyone, and now people are wondering if they are for real. Calm down, people; they haven’t even played ten games. It was a stellar outing, but let’s see if they can do it again. Yamamoto had a disappointing start to his MLB career, and now he looks to prove he is worth the money LA paid him. It’s not a favorable matchup, but he needs to bounce back in this one. Wicks is off to a decent start, but facing this Dodgers lineup could prove difficult. Back the Dodgers to knot things up 1-1 at Wrigley today.
Final Pick
Los Angeles Dodgers ML (-192)
