The Dodgers return home on Friday to face the Chicago Cubs. The NL Central team came into Thursday with an eight-game winning streak, having shaken off the early-season doldrums. That said, much of it was built against the slumping Mets and Phillies at Wrigley Field. Dodger Stadium is different.
Jameson Taillon will be tested by the powerful LA lineup. He is going up against Emmet Sheehan, who is somehow 2-0 despite a 5.85 ERA. That’s actually a compliment to how potent the Dodger bats are, making them favorites in MLB odds. A pitcher can have an ERA of almost six and not have a loss on his record yet.
