RED HOT 14-7, 67%, +7,360 MLB Star Rated Picks run for Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach! He is known for CATCHING FIRE each and every summer and it usually begins right before Memorial Day weekend!

He continues to rank as one of the TOP CAPPERS in the industry in 2017 with his Star Rated Pick NET Profits of $55,560 RANKED #1 on multiple networks! Don't miss his HUGE Sunday of MLB action including this Free Pick: MLB Chicago Cubs Money Line (+) @ Los Angeles Dodgers @ 4:10 ET - Neither team has been hitting in this series. Yes it is true that the Cubs have yet to score a run in this series. However, the Dodgers have outscored the Cubs 9-0 despite only outhitting them 11-5. I feel we've got some very solid underdog line value being offered here and I won't hesitate to back the Cubs. Jon Lester gets the start for Chicago and the lefty is known for pitching much better at home compared to on the road. However, he has good success at Dodger Stadium in his career and, in fact, Lester has a 2.45 ERA and 0.94 WHIP in the 8 starts he has made against the Dodgers in his career. The southpaw has held LA to just 1 earned run in each of his last 3 starts against them. Of course, Clayton Kershaw is an ace for the Dodgers and that's why this line is priced where it is. However, let's not forget that Kershaw gave up 4 earned runs in just 5 innings of work on 7 hits (including 2 homers) when he most recently faced the Cubs. That was in last year's post-season and certainly Kershaw would love to atone for that performance here. However, the Cubs also have some extra confidence at the plate for this afternoon's game as a result of beating Kershaw and the Dodgers 5-0 in that game. Off of rare back to back shutouts, I look for the Cubs to step up and get the upset win here at LA on Sunday to avoid the 3-game sweep. Even with yesterday's loss, the Cubs are still 3-1 this season (and 16-9 the last 3 seasons combined) when they are off of a shutout loss. The Cubs are also +$5,400 when facing left-handed starters the last 3 seasons combined while the Dodgers are -$18,200 against southpaw starters the past 3 seasons combined. The road dog is well worth the investment in this generous price range Sunday. Free Pick on Chicago Cubs on the money line. Best of luck, Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach

Cubs LH Jon Lester (3-2, 3.19 ERA) vs. Dodgers LH Clayton Kershaw (7-2, 2.01)
Today we have a matchup, where the pundits expect a low scoring pitcher duel. But In my humble betting opinion it  will not be a low enough scoring game for the combined score not to eclipse the posted number.
John Lester the Cubs starting pitcher today vs the host LA Dodgers is considered a top tier pitcher, but away from Wrigely Field this season  he has struggled  mightily , going 0-2 with a 5.73 ERA in four road starts. With the Dodgers offense, doing their best work at home averaging 5.4 rpg, I will not be surprised if they reach the 5 to 6 run output in this spot, thus making the over a decent bet based on my projection. Meanwhile, Clayton Kershaw, and all his greatness, goes to the hill to face a desperate Cubs team, that is itching to score runs after two consecutive shutouts. I know Kershaw is in great form,  but the defending World Series Champs have done their best work vs southpaws this season, scoring an average of 5.8 rpg, including 17 HRs in 13 trys and must not be underestimated in their ability to do at least some damage here today. With that said, I am recommending we wager on the OVER.
CHICAGO CUBS are 21-9 OVER  L/30 in road games vs. an NL starting pitcher whose WHIP is 1.150 or better over the last few seasons with a combined average of 9.7 rpg going on the board and  are 17-9 OVER  vs. NL teams scoring 4.5 or more runs/game on the season this season with a combined average of 9.7 rpg getting scored. LESTER i in 18  career games in road games vs. teams outscoring opp by 1 or more runs/game on the season  has seen a combined average of 8.1 rpg scored.Â
Over is 6-1 in Lesters last 7 starts overall.Over is 22-6-1 in Cubs last 29 after allowing 5 runs or more in their previous game.Over is 3-0-1 in Lesters last 4 road starts.Over is 6-1 in Kershaws last 7 starts when their opponent allows 5 runs or more in their previous game. Over is 10-4 in Dodgers last 14 after allowing 2 runs or less in their previous game.

The Dodgers are a big favorite at home versus the Cubs Sunday afternoon, but not as big of a favorite as we normally see when Clayton Kershaw takes the mound at home.
Kershaw (7-2, 2.01 ERA) tossed a complete game, allowing one run on three hits with 10 strikeouts at home against the Cardinals his last time out. He's 3-1 with a 1.93 ERA in five home starts, and 2-0 with a 0.64 ERA in two starts in the afternoon in 2017. The Cubs lineup is hitting a minuscule .155 over a combined 84 at bats versus Kershaw.
The Cubs hand the ball to Jon Lester, who hasn't been all that sharp on the road. Lester (3-2, 3.19 ERA) tossed a complete game, allwwing one run on four hits with 10 strikeouts in a home win over the Giants his last time out. He's 0-2 with a 5.73 ERA in four starts away from Wrigley.
The Dodgers have a history of struggling versus left-handed pitchers, but they are 6-1 in their last seven versus southpaws.
