Analysis
The Chicago Cubs have cooled off a bit after being one of the hottest teams in baseball. They cut the lead in the NL Wild Card race to just three games but have since fallen back to five games back with four teams ahead of them. They also scored 99 runs over a 10 game span until the Yankees series where they scored just two runs and lost two of their three games. Now they head to Los Angeles to take on the NL West leading Dodgers. After seeing their lead in the West drop to just 2 1/2 games, the Dodgers have built it back up to six games over the Padres and 6.5 games over the Diamondbacks. The Dodgers took two of three from the Guardians and are 7-3 their last 10 games. Kyle Hendricks will start for the Cubs today. He's struggled this year to a 3-11 record and 6.60 ERA. Hendricks has allowed 11 runs over his last 11 1/3 innings. The Dodgers will counter with Walk Beuhler who is just 1-4 with a 5.67 ERA in an injury plagued season. Beuhler has pitched better of late but still hasn't gone far into games, with five innings being his longest stint in his last five starts. He's also had control issues with 11 walks over his last five starts to just 16 KO's. I look for a high scoring game here on Tuesday as both teams have been putting up big numbers, especially of late. Take the OVER.
