NLCS BASE BRAWLER
(MLB) LA Dodgers vs. Chi Cubs,
Money Line: -113.00 Chi Cubs (Home)
Result: Loss
The Chicago Cubs need a win here to avoid going down a 3-0 hole in the series. The Cubs have had the Dodgers' number home at Wrigley recently, winning two of three there during last year's NLCS and taking two of three when the Dodgers visited in April.

Tonight Kyle Hendricks (1-0, 3.27 ERA) will toe the slab for the Cubs. He's 1-0 with a 3.27 ERA through 11 innings here in the postseason and has the current Dodgers limited to a .189 AVG, although admittedly over just 37 at bats.

The Dodgers turn to Yu Darvish (1-0, 1.80 ERA) who held the D'Backs to one run on two hits in five innings of a 3-1 win in the NLDS, but here he'll run into some particularly desperate Cubbies. We saw the motivation and home town crowd carry the Yankees (who were also 0-2) to an 8-1 victory against the Astros last night, and I like the home team to come through in this matchup.

My selection is an 8* play on Chicago Cubs.
