LiontipsLos Angeles Dodgers vs Chicago Cubs. Prediction and Betting Tips for MLB 2022 (July 8, 2022).
Command Analysis
The Los Angeles Dodgers recorded their 52nd victory of the season and became the leaders of the National League. Their main competitors, the New York Mets, have just one win less, and today the Dodgers will be looking to secure their lead. The home team almost never loses in more than two games in a row.
After a defeat to the San Diego Padres (2:4), the Dodgers swept the Colorado Rockies at home (5:3, 5:2, 2:1). In the upcoming game, Tony Gonsolin will take the mound.
The Chicago Cubs can't boast similar success. They sit in 12th place in the table with only 34 victories, but have a good chance of improving their standings. The Cubs looked decent in their recent outings.
After defeats to Boston (2:4) and Milwaukee (2:5), they celebrated success over the Brewers twice (8:3, 2:1). However, the team isn't so confident on road trips. They were on an away losing streak for a very long time and broke it only at the end of last month.
