Cubs vs. Dodgers Prediction: Walker Buehler Will Keep Undefeated Record Intact

The Los Angeles Dodgers streak of being set as the betting favorites in 150 consecutive games ended on Monday night, but they still have a streak intact heading into tonight’s game. That streak involves starting pitcher Walker Buehler, who hasn’t been credited with a loss in 23-straight starts, dating back to September 21, 2019.

Buehler has also been credited with the win in all four starts this month, with his most recent win coming on June 19 against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

The Dodgers will trot out Buehler for tonight’s game against the Chicago Cubs. Los Angeles is set as a hefty -260 favorite, with Chicago coming in as the +210 road underdog. The total for the game is set at eight runs.

If you’re looking for player props to bet on tonight, WynnBET offers a few enticing options. Buehler’s earned run total for the game is set at 2.5, with the under set as the -175 favorite. You’ll have to pay a hefty price on the under, but it’s still a great bet to make.

Buehler has allowed fewer than three runs in 11 of his 14 starts this season, and he’s only given up two runs in his last 20.1 innings.

Cubs'To further support the bet, the Cubs offense has been almost nonexistent this month. They rank 28th in the majors in both OPS (.629) and runs scored (76) in the month of June. Before their recent seven-run performance against the Cleveland Indians, Chicago hadn’t surpassed two runs in five straight games.

Buehler will be facing Cubs starting pitcher Zach Davies, who enters the game with a 4-4 record and a 4.66 ERA.

The Dodgers will try to bounce back after getting swept in a three-game series against the San Diego Padres.

If you want to back Los Angeles, but you don’t feel like laying the -260 juice, you can take the Dodgers -1.5 runline at -120 instead.
