MLB Betting Trends
Chicago
The Cubs are 1-6 in their last seven road games. Chicago is 7-3 in the last 10 Hendricks starts on the road.
Los Angeles
The Dodgers are 41-13 in their last 54 home games. Los Angeles is 5-1 in the last six Hill starts on Fridays.
Prediction:
This should be a fantastic pitching matchup and Hendricks has a knack for rising to the occasion. The Dodgers haven’t lost much at home, but I feel like Hendricks is the right type of pitcher to offset the long ball by LA and Chicago has some power hitters who can do damage against lefties. At this price, I like Chicago here.
