Dodgers Favored Over Cubs in Skubal's First Start

The Los Angeles Dodgers are favored (-186 moneyline) in Tarik Skubal's first start with the team Tuesday against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. Skubal, acquired from Detroit in a trade that sent three prospects to the Tigers, comes in with a 7-5 record, 2.79 ERA, and 0.91 WHIP this season.

Despite the Dodgers' favoritism, Skubal has struggled historically against Chicago, posting a 4.12 ERA in 19.2 innings pitched against them. The Cubs rank second in MLB in runs per game (5.13) and are among the league's best offensive teams, making Skubal's debut challenging as Los Angeles seeks to break a four-game losing streak. capturengo.org
