Predictions and Betting Preview for the Dodgers vs Cubs MLB Regular Season Game on April 22, 2023
- Where: Wrigley Field, Chicago, Illinois.
- When: Saturday, April 22, 2023, 2:20 PM E.T.
Betting on the Los Angeles Dodgers
- Regular Season Record: 10-10
The Dodgers have been hit hard by injuries in the first part of the season and are currently missing key players like Will Smith, Chris Taylor, and Tony Gonsolin, just to name a few.
The good news is that they have already recovered Mookie Betts, who was out due to the birth of his child. Betts was used as a shortstop in Thursday’s game, his first time playing in that defensive position in his career.
The Dodgers are second in the MLB with 36 home runs, so it’it is certainly a positive thing that the power odd has been present for the team led by Dave Roberts.
Starting pitcher: Dustin May (1-1, 3.00 ERA).
Betting on Chicago Cubs
- Regular Season Record: 11-7
The Cubs have had a positive start to the season and are determined to prove they have what it takes to compete with the Cardinals and the Brewers, the big favorites in the National League Central Division throughout 2023.
They made a bold move by signing Cody Bellinger to a one-year, $17.5 million contract for the 2023 season, and so far, the former Dodgers player has exceeded expectations. The National League MVP in 2019 has a .290 average, four home runs, and an .874 OPS in 18 games played with Wrigley Field’s team.
Some bad news for Chicago is that pitcher Jameson Taillon was placed on the 15-day injured list due to a groin problem.
Starting pitcher: Haiden Wesneski (1-0, 6.23 ERA).
JefeBet Prediction
The Cubs have been performing better than expected in the first month of the MLB regular season. However, this Saturday, they will be facing the tough challenge of going up against Dustin May and his formidable pitching skills. Moreover, with Haiden Wesneski as their starting pitcher, the Cubs do not seem to have much of a chance. That is why, at JefeBet, we believe that the Dodgers will most likely come out on top in this game..
