The Los Angeles Dodgers and the Chicago Cubs meet again on Friday to begin a new three-game series over the weekend at Dodger Stadium.
The Dodgers stopped the bleeding as they arrested a four-game slide with 6-5 win over the Washington Nationals on Wednesday. Teoscar Hernandez chipped three RBIs after recording a two-run homer in the first inning and the game-winning one-run single in the 7th inning. Los Angeles still own the best record in the NL West at 10-4.
The Cubs have won three of their last five, though they dropped their last game against the Texas Rangers 2-6 in Wednesday’s series finale. After almost three weeks since their two-game series in Japan, Chicago now has better batting numbers then Dodgers, averaging .250 with 96 runs.

Our Chicago Cubs vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
Averaging 6.2 Ks in his last five mound appearances, Yoshinobu Yamamoto will go OVER 5.5 strikeouts in his second start vs. the Cubs this season. Yamamoto already recorded a game with 10 strikeouts this season, pulling it off in just five innings against the Detroit Tigers. The Japanese also had a pair of games with 8 strikeouts against the Cubs last year. Indeed, Chicago has been hitting well in the past two weeks, but I still believe they haven’t figured out how to attack Yamamoto's repertoire of pitches, including his signature curveball. Our betting prediction for Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Chicago Cubs: Yoshinobu Yamamoto will go OVER 5.5 strikeouts.
