Analyzing Monday’s Chicago Cubs at LA Dodgers odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Chicago Cubs (73-70) and LA Dodgers (86-57) open up a 3-game series Monday at Dodger Stadium at 10:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Cubs vs. Dodgers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Cubs lead 2-1

The Cubs salvaged a game against the New York Yankees with a 2-1 victory Sunday. This came after the Yanks blanked them 2-0 and 3-0. The Cubs scored 12 against the Pittsburgh Pirates Wednesday, but aside from that, they posted 2 runs in the previous 4 games. They are mathematically still in it, 5 games behind the pack for a Wild Card berth.

The Dodgers took 2 of 3 against the Cleveland Guardians over the weekend. Sunday’s tilt ended in a 4-0 W as RHP Jack Flaherty scattered 4 hits with 6 K’s in 7 1/3 shutout frames. DH Shohei Ohtani hit his 46th homer to match his 46 steals on the season.

RHP Kyle Hendricks vs. RHP Walker Buehler

Hendricks (3-11, 6.60 ERA) makes his 21st start (26th appearance). He has a 1.51 WHIP, 2.8 BB/9 and 6.2 K/9 in 107 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 5 IP, 2 ER, 5 H, 1 BB, 5 K in 5-0 home defeat Tuesday against Pittsburgh Pirates
  • Last 5 regular-season starts vs. Dodgers: 2-2, 6.58 ERA, 1.54 WHIP, 18 K in 26 IP

  • Last start: No-decision, 5 IP, 2 ER, 5 H, 2 BB, 6 K in 6-2 win in 10 innings Tuesday at Los Angeles Angels

Cubs at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 7, Cubs 4

Moneyline

Despite the Cubs’ success against them, the Dodgers are the clear favorites here. I’m not interested in the ML or any particular prop bets in this matchup.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

The Dodgers have won 7 of 10, and 6 of those were by 2+ runs. Hendricks could be throwing batting practice to the likes of Ohtani, 1B Freddie Freeman and OF Mookie Betts.

Take the DODGERS -1.5 (+105).

BetMGM has a 33% profit boost with a minimum of -300 odds. If you use that here, the odds go to +139.

Over/Under

It’s slated to be 91 degrees with an 11-mph wind blowing out to right-center at Chavez Ravine. With 2 struggling pitchers and these conditions, Monday’s game could play out like it’s at the Great American Ball Park.

Take the OVER 9.5 (-120) and expect it to swell to 10 before first pitch.

Cleveland Guardians at LA Dodgers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Cleveland Guardians at LA Dodgers odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Cleveland Guardians (81-61) and LA Dodgers (85-57) wrap up a 3-game interleague series Sunday. First pitch from Dodger Stadium is set for 4:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Guardians vs. Dodgers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Tied 1-1

The Dodgers jumped all over SP Gavin Williams for 5 runs on 2 hits and 3 walks in just 2/3rds of an inning in a 7-2 victory Saturday. Los Angeles plated 6 runs in the bottom of the 1st and led wire-to-wire. The total (9) ended up as a push as there was no scoring in the final 5 frames.

The Guardians slipped to 6-9 across the past 15 road outings, while going 3-5 in the previous 8 interleague contests. The Under is 8-3-1 in the previous 12 tries against National League foes, too.

For the Dodgers, they improved to an impressive 11-4 in the previous 15 interleague contests, while going 12-3 in the previous 15 against the American League at Dodger Stadium. The Over is 7-2-1 in the past 10 outings after the push.

Guardians at Dodgers projected starters

RHP Tanner Bibee vs. RHP Jack Flaherty

Bibee (11-6, 3.56 ERA) makes his 28th start. He has a 1.12 WHIP, 2.3 BB/9 and 9.8 K/9 in 149 innings.

  • Last start: Win, 6 IP, 1 ER, 2 H, 3 BB, 6 K in 7-1 victory at Kansas City Royals Tuesday
  • 2024 road splits: 7-3, 2.71 ERA, 79 2/3 IP, 24 ER, 10 HR, 1.03 WHIP, .216 opponents’ batting average (OBA), 19 BB, 78 K in 14 starts

  • Last start: Win, 5 2/3 IP, 1 ER, 5 H, 3 BB, 7 K in 11-6 victory at Arizona Diamondbacks Monday
  • 2024 home splits: 4-4, 3.69 ERA (61 IP, 25 ER), 11 HR, 1.16 WHIP, .248 OBA, 13 BB, 75 K in 10 starts

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Guardians at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 3, Guardians 2

Moneyline

The DODGERS (-166) are a decent play as moderate favorites in this interleague series finale.

This is an extremely even pitching matchup, but the edge goes to LA. Flaherty knows the Guardians well, and that should be the slight difference.

Run line/Against the spread

Since I see this as a 1-run game, I’m backing the GUARDIANS +1.5 (-146) against the spread even though I’m backing the Dodgers ML (-166). Just don’t bet more than 1½ units total between the 2 options.

Cleveland isn’t priced out of line. Bibee might be the team’s most consistent pitcher, and it is worth playing with the right-hander making his foray into Dodger Stadium.

This is going to be a pitcher’s duel, as the splits for Bibee and Flaherty are nearly identical.

Over/Under

UNDER 8.5 (-110) might be the best play on the board under the Southern California sun in this finale.

The Under has dominated for Cleveland lately, going 3-0-2 on the current road trip, and 5-0-2 in the past 7 games.

For LA, the Under is 2-1-1 in the past 4 games after a 6-0 run to the Over. The total has gone low at a 2-0-1 pace in the past 3 at home, too.

Cleveland Guardians at LA Dodgers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Cleveland Guardians at LA Dodgers odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Cleveland Guardians (81-60) and LA Dodgers (84-57) play the middle contest a 3-game interleague series Saturday. First pitch from Dodger Stadium is set for 9:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Guardians vs. Dodgers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Guardians lead 1-0

The Guardians collected just 5 hits in Friday’s series opener, but it was enough to earn a 3-1 win as moderate underdogs (+130) as the Under (8.5) was never in question. In the win, 8’s were wild, as Andres Gimenez and Brayan Rocchio each hit their 8th homers of the season in the win.

Despite the win, Cleveland is still just 6-8 across the past 14 road games, and 3-4 in the past 7 interleague battles. The Under has cashed at an 8-3 clip in the past 11 against the National League.

As far as Los Angeles is concerned, it slipped to 10-4 in the past 14 tries against American League opponents, and it is still 11-3 in the past interleague games at home despite the loss.

The Under was a rarity for the Dodgers, as the Over is still 7-2 in the past 9 games, while going 10-4 in the previous 14 outings.

Guardians at Dodgers projected starters

RHP Gavin Williams vs. TBD

Williams (3-7, 4.55 ERA) makes his 13th start. He has a 1.30 WHIP, 3.5 BB/9 and 9.7 K/9 in 59 1/3 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 7 IP, 1 ER, 1 H, 2 BB, 6 K in 4-2 road victory vs. Kansas City Royals Monday
  • 2024 road splits: 3-2, 2.70 ERA, 36 2/3 IP, 11 ER, 2 HR, 1.01 WHIP, .179 opponents’ batting average (OBA), 13 BB, 34 K in 7 starts
  • Career vs. Dodgers: Loss, 4 1/3 IP, 7 R (5 ER), 8 H (1 HR), 2 BB, 5 K in 9-3 home setback Aug. 24, 2023 in only start vs. LAD

No Los Angeles pitcher announced at time of publishing.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Guardians at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Guardians 6, Dodgers 4

Moneyline

The GUARDIANS (+124) are worth a look for a 2nd consecutive day, as they’re catching a break catching the back end of the rotation for the Dodgers (-168).

As L.A. hasn’t announced a starting pitcher as of the time of publishing, you have to back Cleveland. Williams has ugly numbers overall, but most of his poor performances have come at Progressive Field. On the road, he has pitched very, very well. There has been some sharp action on Cleveland Saturday morning as well.

Run line/Against the spread

Play the GUARDIANS +1.5 (-156) if you still just can’t trust Cleveland for a 2nd straight game, even though the Dodgers -1.5 (+130) have yet to settle on a starting pitcher. Taking a little bit of insurance isn’t a bad bet, really, and the price point isn’t out of line.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

OVER 9 (-104) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.

There is just uncertainty about the Dodgers selection for starting pitcher, and while Williams has been a little better on the road than at home, he is still 3-7 with a 4.55 ERA. When he doesn’t bring his ‘A’ game to the mound, he can be pretty giving, so be careful not to go low like Friday.

Cleveland Guardians at LA Dodgers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Cleveland Guardians at LA Dodgers odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Cleveland Guardians (80-60) and LA Dodgers (84-56) open a 3-game interleague series Friday. First pitch from Dodger Stadium is set for 10:10 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Guardians vs. Dodgers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Dodgers won 2-1 in 2023

The Guardians won the 1st 2 games in Kansas City, but the Royals salvaged the series finale with a 4-1 win on Wednesday. The Guardians are still 5-2 across the past 7 outings, while cashing the Under at a 4-0-1 clip in the previous 5 contests.

Cleveland is just 5-8 in the past 13 road games, however, while going 2-4 in the previous 6 interleague outings. The Under is 7-3 in the past 10 tries against NL teams, too.

For the Dodgers, it split a pair with the crosstown rival Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim, winning 6-2 on Tuesday before getting hammered 10-1 on Wednesday. The Over has been on fire for L.A. lately, going 7-1 in the past 8 games, and 10-3 across the past 13 contests.

Los Angeles has managed a 10-3 mark in the past 13 tries against AL foes, while going 11-2 in the past 13 interleague games at Chavez Ravine.

Guardians at Dodgers projected starters

LHP Matthew Boyd vs. RHP Landon Knack

Boyd (1-1, 2.38 ERA) makes his 5th start. He has a 0.84 WHIP, 2.0 BB/9 and 7.9 K/9 in 22 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 6 IP, 1 ER, 4 H, 0 BB, 8 K in 3-0 home setback vs. Pittsburgh Pirates last Saturday
  • 2024 road splits: No-decision, 5 1/3 IP, 3 ER, 4 H (2 HR), 4 BB, 2 K in 9-5 win in 12 innings vs. New York Yankees Aug. 20
  • Career vs. Dodgers: 0-0, 6.75 ERA, 1 1/3 IP, 1 ER, 1 H, 2 BB, 2 K in 2017 relief appearance as a member of the Detroit Tigers

Knack (2-2, 3.00 ERA) makes his 9th start and 11th appearance. He has a 1.00 WHIP, 2.3 BB/9 and 8.3 K/9 in 48 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 5 IP, 1 ER, 2 H (solo HR), 2 BB, 6 K in 5-3 home victory vs. San Francisco Giants July 23
  • 2024 home splits: 1-2, 3.00 ERA (24 IP, 8 ER), 0.92 WHIP, .174 OBA, 5 HR, 7 BB, 23 K in 5 starts

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Guardians at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Guardians 4, Dodgers 3

Moneyline

The GUARDIANS (+132) are worth a roll of the dice, but go lightly. The reasoning for backing Cleveland is pitching, as Boyd has been a breath of fresh air for a team which desperately needed some quality starting pitching with all of the injuries in the rotation.

The Dodgers (-156) turn back to Knack, who last made an appearance in relief in Milwaukee on Aug. 13. He has had trouble keeping the ball in the park, conceding 6 HR in the past 22 1/3 IP across 3 starts and 2 relief appearances.

Run line/Against the spread

If you’re a little more on the conservative side, and would rather not play Cleveland straight up, GUARDIANS +1.5 (-162) is worth a look on the run line catching the run and a half.

It’s a tall order facing a Dodgers -1.5 (+134) team which has been doing well, but Cleveland catches a break going against one of the team’s lesser pitchers in the opener.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

UNDER 9 (-108) is worth playing lightly in this interleague series opener.

While the Over is on an impressive 7-1 run in the past 8 games for Los Angeles, the Over-Under has split in the previous 6 interleague battles.

For Cleveland, the Under has gone low at a 4-0-1 clip in the past 5 games, and that’s what is driving this Under train.

Analyzing Monday’s LA Dodgers at Arizona Diamondbacks odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Arizona Diamondbacks (77-60) welcome the LA Dodgers (82-55) to Chase Field for the finale of their 4-game series. First pitch is set for 4:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Dodgers vs. Diamondbacks odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Tied 6-6

The Dodgers lost to the Diamondbacks 14-3 Sunday after winning the first two games of the series 10-9 Friday and 8-6 Saturday. Los Angeles had its 4-game win streak snapped Sunday but is still 10-3 over its last 13. The Dodgers are 37-31 on the road and 68-69 against the spread (ATS) on the season.

The Diamondbacks, who sit 2nd in the NL West, have struggled as of late, losing 3 of their last 4. They snapped a 3-game losing streak with the win Sunday; however, Arizona is still 8-4 over its last 12. The Diamondbacks are 39-30 at home this season and 72-65 ATS.

Dodgers at Diamondbacks projected starters

RHP Jack Flaherty vs. LHP Eduardo Rodriguez

Flaherty (10-6, 3.07 ERA) makes his 24th start, 6th with the Dodgers. He has a 1.02 WHIP, 1.7 BB/9 and 11.1 K/9 in 135 IP.

Dodgers at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 6, Diamondbacks 3

Moneyline

BET DODGERS (-144).

While this is a relatively expensive play, it is the best team-specific one. The Dodgers have the best record in the MLB and the 2nd-best record at 33-21 following a loss. They brought in Flaherty to strengthen their rotation from Detroit, and he has done just that.

Los Angeles should have the advantage on the mound to start. Meanwhile, Arizona is just 7-11 as a home underdog which sits in the bottom half of the league.

Take DODGERS (-144).

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

Both teams are playable on the spread, and the Diamondbacks have reasonable value as a home run-line underdog. However, the Dodgers’ moneyline is the safer and preferred play here.

Over/Under

BET OVER 8.5 (-118).

The bats for both sides have been red hot as of late.

The Diamondbacks are 77-54-6 O/U on the season and have gone Over in 6 of their last 7, scoring at least 6 runs in 3 straight games. Arizona has tallied 39 runs over its last 5 games.

The Dodgers are 5-0 O/U in their last 5 and 8-2 O/U over their last 10. Los Angeles has scored at least 6 in 4 of its last 5 games. Take OVER 8.5 (-118).

Dodgers at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 6, Dodgers 4

Moneyline

BET DIAMONDBACKS (-112).

The Diamondbacks have struggled as of late, but they still have a dynamic offense and will have the better pitcher on the mound. Arizona has won 5 of Pfaadt’s last 6 starts. It has also performed well over the last month at home, having won 7 of 12 games at Chase Field in August.

The Dodgers have a more inexperienced starter taking the mound and were 2-3 in their previous 5 road games coming into this series. Take DIAMONDBACKS (-112).

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

There’s no great value here. The Dodgers as run-line favorites are too risky, while the Diamondbacks are too expensive as run-line underdogs. Avoid this play.

Over/Under

BET OVER 9 (-122).

The Dodgers have gone Over in 4 straight games, scoring at least 6 runs in each. They are 72-61-3 O/U on the season and 5-2 O/U in their last 7 road games.

The Diamondbacks are 76-54-6 O/U on the season and 5-1 O/U in their last 6 games. Arizona is 11-3 O/U in its last 14 games, scoring at least 6 runs in 8 of those 14 outings. Considering those trends, take OVER 9 (-122).
