The set-up: Yu Darvish returns to face the Dodgers. Darvish has made just 22 starts with the Cubs in a year and a half and he has just three victories and a ballooned 4.96 ERA. I think Walker Buehler and the hard-hitting home side take advantage.

The pitchers: Darvish (2-3, 4.98 ERA) has posted eight straight no-decisions.

Buehler (7-1, 3.35 ERA) is 5-1 with a 2.45 ERA over his last eight starts, giving up a single run over each of his last two starts.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but Chicago is just 3-13 (-9.4 units) this year as a road underdog, while LA is 14-3 (+7.7 units) this season as a favorite in the -175 to -250 range. This one has blowout written all over it.
