Predictions and Betting Preview for the Dodgers vs Cubs MLB Regular Season Game on April 23, 2023
- Where: Wrigley Field, Chicago, Illinois.
- When: Sunday, April 23, 2023, 2:20 PM E.T.
Betting on the Los Angeles Dodgers
- Regular Season Record: 10-11
Just like the Padres, the Dodgers have struggled to find consistency in this first month of the MLB regular season. Los Angeles is a team that is used to dominating their zone, so it is expected that they will be improving their performance soon.
Pitching has been the main headache for the Dodgers, as their collective effectiveness is at 4.55, placing them in 19th place in the MLB in that category. Their 13-0 loss to the Cubs on Friday only added to that statistic, and to make matters worse, it was on a day when pitcher Julio Urías was starting.
Starting pitcher: Clayton Kershaw (3-1, 2.52 ERA).
Betting on Chicago Cubs
- Regular Season Record: 12-7
The Cubs have had a pretty positive start to the 2023 season, and they want to prove that they have what it takes to compete at the top of the National League Central Division. Keep in mind that before the start of the campaign, the favorites in this zone were the Brewers and the Cardinals.
The Cubs’ pitching has been sensational so far. The team’s collective ERA is 3.22, which is the fifth best in all the MLB. Their 1.13 WHIP is the fourth best in the Major Leagues, showing just how well this franchise’s arms are performing.
Veteran Drew Smily struck out 10 opponents and did not allow any runs in 7.2 innings of work on Friday. The left-handed pitcher’s performance was so good that he had a perfect game going into the eighth inning. However, he lost it to a David Peralta infield hit.
Starting pitcher: Marcus Stroman (2-1, 0.75 ERA).
JefeBet Prediction
This Sunday is set to be an epic pitching battle between Clayton Kershaw and Marcus Stroman, two top-performing pitchers in the first month of action. That is why, at JefeBet, we are betting on the Under for runs this Sunday afternoon.
Prediction: Under (LAD 4-2 CHC).
