Cubs @ Dodgers Analysis & Breakdown
The Dodgers and Cubs are set to kick off a 3-game series in Los Angeles with LA looking to lock up that 1st place spot in the NL West.
The NL West looked like it could come down and be 1 of the closes races in the MLB but the Dodgers now have their Big 3 back and firing on all cylinders. Mookie Betts is back in the lineup and the Dodgers needed him back, badly.
The Dodgers are now 6 games ahead of the Padres in the division and show no signs of slowing down.
On the flip side, the Cubs are 9 games back of their division lead and currently sit 5 games out of a Wild Card spot. It doesn't seem likely that we'll see the Cubbies in the post-season but they've been scrapping for every win anyway.

Freddie Freeman is back. He's finally seeing the ball well again and through 7 games this month he's hitting 0.273, he's hit 2 home runs and scored 5 RBI. Freddie's hitting 0.286 at home this year with a 0.488 SLG.
He's scored 42 RBI at Dodger Stadium this year and tonight he faces off with Kyle Hendricks, someone he's thrived against in his career. Freeman's hitting 0.357 against Hendricks in 18 at-bats; including 1 home run.
In 17 games against the Cubs, all with the Dodgers, Freeman's hitting 0.273 with 5 RBI and 1 home run. The post-season is slowly approaching and Freddie's no stranger to it. He picks up his game around this time of the year, and its evident in his game.
Last season Freddie his 0.308 in the month of September, with a 0.500 SLG. He scored 20 runs and cashed in another 13 RBI over just 27 games. Now with less than 30 games left, it's time to lock in with Playoff Freddie.

Shohei Ohtani 1+ Home Run (+200) via BetOnline – Get a $500 WELCOME BONUS
Ohtani could become the first member of the 50 HR /50 SB Club this season.
I want to see Ohtani hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases.
He could be the first person in MLB history to do it and he's got 29 games to do it. Shohei's hitting 0.304 this year at Dodger Stadium and he's hit 25 of his 46 home runs here in Los Angeles.
Ohtani is looking like the clear winner of the National League Most Valuable Player, he's about to play post-season baseball for the first time in his life; all while stealing the most bases he's ever stolen and hitting the most home runs he's ever hit.
Shoehei's already tied his career high with 46 home runs, and set a career best with 101 RBI this year; he did all of this with 29 games left in the regular season.
He's the best player in baseball and I'm here to witness history.
