The Los Angeles Dodgers host the Chicago Cubs tonight and Dodger Stadium will be the site for game two of this National League affair.
The Cubs picked up a significant 10-4 win last night and improved their record to 74-70. Over the last two weeks, Chicago has been the hottest team in baseball. The Cubbies have won six of their last ten games and have shot up the NL standings. Chicago trails the final wildcard spot in the NL by five games.

Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Chicago Cubs Prediction
While it may be too little, too late for the Cubs, the bottom line is that they are competitive enough to make things interesting down the stretch.
Seiya Suzuki leads the Cubbies, batting .270 on the campaign while veteran Ian Happ has launched a team-best 23 home runs while driving in 81 runs. Cody Bellinger has added 16 home runs and 63 runs batted in.
All-Star pitcher Shota Imanaga gets the start tonight. The Southpaw is 12-3 with a 2.99 ERA this season and has been one of the best pitchers in the NL.
The Dodgers begin the contest with a record of 86-58 as they battle with the Phillies for the No. 1 seed in the NL. That record is tied for the best in the National League.
Los Angeles leads the NL West by 5.5 games over the San Diego Padres.
Big Blue should be on their way to claiming yet another NL West championship. The biggest question is whether they can claim first place and secure home-field advantage throughout the postseason.
Every game for the rest of the month is vital for the Dodgers. Los Angeles has won six of their last ten games.
Future NL MVP Shohei Ohtani leads the team with 46 home runs and 101 runs batted in.
Teoscar Hernandez has enjoyed success in his first year with the Dodgers, launching 28 home runs and driving in 87 runs. Mookie Betts has added 17 home runs and 66 RBIs in 97 games played.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto gets the rock tonight. This will be the 26-year-olds first start since June 15th.
Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Chicago Cubs Pick
Pick: Los Angeles Dodgers -1 (-104)
I love the Dodgers to bounce back with a win tonight.
Losing back-to-back games has been rare for Dave Roberts' team this season. While Yamamoto may be limited, I expect a strong outing in his return tonight in a crucial game for LA.
Let’s stay hot and cash tonight
