The Dodgers are traveling to face the Cubs in this game. The Dodgers, though, have been playing decent overall, but the downside is when it comes to playing on the road the Dodgers are only a single game over the five hundred mark and that is definitely a challenge for the team. However, the Dodgers do have a little bit of a cushion as they are 2.5 games over the Padres in the standings. The Cubs for their part are over the five hundred mark when playing at home, but the downside is with 5 wins over half of the Cubs wins have come at home.

Free Betting Pick: Chicago Cubs +115
The Cubs are playing at home and have been a stronger home team than anything else. What else will be impressive is Quintana is the better pitcher and being able to throw the strikeout ball will help them out tremendously in this game as it helps to shut down Bellinger who could really have some great cuts at the ball, but will be fooled by Quintana in this game. Final Score, Chicago Cubs win 4-3.
