Predictions:

In what promises to be a thrilling game , the Cubs and Dodgers will battle it out with two pitchers who have faced their fair share of challenges this season. Chicago's Jordan Wicks (2-3, 4.03 ERA) and LA's Bobby Miller (2-4, 7.79 ERA) are both prone to allowing runs, making this game ripe for a high-scoring encounter . Both teams boast potent offenses, but if the Dodgers can get their bats going early, they could bounce back from their recent loss. Expect a high-scoring game, with the Dodgers likely securing the win on their home turf.
