Who will win Cubs vs Dodgers today: Cubs moneyline (+110)<\/p>\n

The Chicago Cubs<\/a> may have lost on Saturday, but that does little to change how impressive they\u2019ve been over the past two weeks.<\/p>\n

Chicago outscored its opponents 72-31 over its latest 10-game winning streak, and the red-hot Shota Imanaga<\/a> is set to take the mound on Sunday. The Japanese southpaw boasts a 1.13 ERA and a 0.542 WHIP over his last four starts.<\/p>\n

The Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> aren\u2019t at full strength right now, with Max Muncy<\/a> sitting today, along with injuries to Mookie Betts<\/a> and Edwin Diaz<\/a>. That\u2019s enough for me to give the Cubs the edge, and I\u2019m taking them to win outright.<\/p>\n

COVERS INTEL:<\/p>\n

The Cubs are hitting .321 with a .934 OPS over their last 11 games, which includes smashing 21 homers in that span.<\/p>\n

Cubs vs Dodgers Over\/Under pick: Over 9 (-110)<\/p>\n

These are two of the best offenses in the majors, and it has shown over the past two seasons, as they\u2019ve combined to hit the Over in five of their last six head-to-head meetings.<\/p>\n

The Dodgers currently rank second in the majors with 5.67 runs per game this year, with the Cubs right behind them at 5.52.<\/p>\n

Any concerns about Los Angeles<\/a>\u2019 minor offensive slump should have been put to rest after its 12-run outburst yesterday, and Chicago has simply been on fire lately.<\/p>\n

Even with a solid pitching matchup, there\u2019s too much firepower to keep the total from reaching double digits.<\/p>\n
