Cubs vs. Dodgers Prediction

Game Snapshot
959 Chicago Cubs (+220) at 960 Los Angeles Dodgers (-275); o/u 8.5

Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, CA
Chicago Cubs DFS SPIN
Willson Contreras returns to the Cubs lineup and will bat second as the designated hitter against the Dodgers on Saturday. Contreras has not played since leaving early during Monday’s game against the Brewers with hamstring tightness. He will bat second as the Cubs’ designated hitter, which means he is feeling well enough to hit but needs another day before getting back behind the dish. The 30-year-old is having a monster season and is hitting .274/.392/.498 with 13 homers and 35 RBI across 309 plate appearances.
Los Angeles Dodgers DFS SPIN
Craig Kimbrel walked one and struck out two in the ninth on Saturday to lock down his 15th save of the season against the Cubs. Kimbrel converted his first save opportunity since June 30th on Saturday. He walked Patrick Wisdom to open up the top of the ninth, but he sat down three straight to finish off the Cubs. The longtime closer has an unsightly 4.66 ERA, 1.52 WHIP, and a 45/14 K/BB through 31 appearances (29 innings).
