My Prediction
Los Angeles Dodgers by 2Ah, the lovely sound of ball hitting mitt, at the not-so-large confines of Wrigley Field. That Park Factor of theirs reminds me of a hot dog without mustard – not quite there. Anyway, let's focus on our star-studded Warriors for tonight's game.
On the mound for the Dodgers, we have Dustin May. His ERA and WHIP number are smaller than a mouse at a cat's convention. Strutting his stuff for the Cubs is Shota Imanaga, who's a little heavier on the ERA, not to mention his WHIP, but let's not get finicky.
Swinging lumber, the Dodgers are led by Will Smith, Freddie Freeman, and Tommy Edman. These three are hitting like they've got something to prove. Then there's that dazzling Shohei Ohtani, and don't forget Teoscar Hernandez, both tossing their fair share of heat this season.
Not to be outdone, the Cubs have their power trio – Carson Kelly's average would make a peacock jealous. Joining him are Mike Busch, and Kyle Tucker, both hitting with the accuracy of a veteran dart player.
Looking back at past matchups, someone seems to have mixed up the ketchup and mustard. The Cubs and Dodgers have been passing wins back and forth more than a hot potato, but let's give the Dodgers a nod for those recent victories.
Check out the regular season records, folks. The Dodgers lead the dance with a 16-7 showing, while the Cubs have been shuffling around with a respectable 14-10. Guess not every Cub is a bear.
Peeking at recent results, the Dodgers seem to enjoy sweating out those close games, while the Cubs are flipping coins like they're down at the arcade.
After mulling it over and taking numerous sips of my lukewarm coffee, I'd say the Dodgers have a slight edge. Keep in mind, in baseball, any given day is as unpredictable as my first wife's mood swings.
