The Dodgers are going for the series win today after dropping a disappointing game last night.
Cubs | Dodgers | |||

SS | Baez | CF | Hernandez | |
LF | Bryant | 3B | Turner | |
1B | Rizzo | 1B | Freese | |
C | Contreras | RF | Bellinger | |
3B | Bote | SS | Taylor | |
CF | Almora | 2B | Muncy | |
RF | Heyward | C | Martin | |
P | Quintana (L) | LF | Garlick | |
2B | Russell | P | Ryu (L) |
The lineup has a bit of a different look today, as Enrique Hernandez is hitting leadoff and the red-hot David Freese is in. Even Kyle Garlick has drawn a start.
Hyun-Jin Ryu, who has been one of the best pitchers in baseball this season, gets the start against the Cubs. He should probably start the All-Star Game for the National League, but he’s scheduled to pitch the final game before the All-Star Break, so that might not happen.
The Dodgers should be staring a series sweep in the face, but if they manage to take 3-of-4 from the likely second-best team in the NL, I suppose that’s a nice consolation prize. First pitch is on ESPN at 4:05 p.m.
