The Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs series continues at Dodger Stadium.
The Cubs carry significant momentum into Game 2.
Cubs’ Winning Streak and Game 1 Recap
Chicago comes in red-hot after a 6–4 comeback win in Friday’s opener, extending their winning streak to 10 straight games.
That win showcased exactly what’s driving the Cubs right now as they continue to produce timely hitting and late-game execution. Dansby Swanson delivered the decisive blow with a go-ahead two-run homer in the ninth, finishing with four RBIs, while the bullpen shut things down with four scoreless innings to secure the win. With that kind of momentum, Chicago enters Saturday playing its best baseball of the season.
Dodgers’ Struggles and Pitching Matchup
For Los Angeles, the concern is closing games. The Dodgers controlled much of Game 1 and even got a strong start, but the bullpen collapsed late, something that has become a trend during a recent 5-losses-in-7-games stretch.
They’ll look to bounce back Saturday behind Roki Sasaki, while the Cubs are expected to counter with Colin Rea.

Odds and Outlook
Oddsmakers lean toward Los Angeles at home, but this matchup feels tighter than that line suggests, given Chicago’s form and confidence. If the Cubs continue their late-game surge, they have a real shot to take control of the series, but if the Dodgers stabilize their bullpen, their lineup still gives them the edge at home.
