The Dodgers will look to bounce back in a big way on Sunday after taking a brutal 16-0 loss to the Cubs — their worst shutout at home in half a century. But with the series on the line, all eyes turn to Tyler Glasnow and a fully rested bullpen to right the ship.
Manager Dave Roberts made it clear: “Flush it and focus on the series.” Glasnow gets the ball with redemption on his mind after a weather-impacted outing in Philly where he lost command early and never recovered. The stuff is still there — it’s just about execution.
Glasnow’s history vs. Chicago isn’t pretty (10.61 ERA), but this is a different setup. He’s at home, with a fresh arm and motivation after Saturday’s embarrassment. Expect a more aggressive approach early.
On the other side, Colin Rea makes his first start of the year for the Cubs after three clean bullpen outings. He’s been solid, but he’s also had mixed results vs. LA in the past (6.37 ERA). This Dodgers lineup should come out with intent, especially after being shut down in back-to-back games.
Watch for Michael Busch — the former Dodger — to keep swinging a hot bat. He torched LA on Saturday with 4 hits, including a home run and two doubles, and has been a problem in this ballpark, going 9-for-22 with 7 RBIs in five career games here.
Seiya Suzuki is questionable after aggravating his wrist again. If he’s out, it’s a big blow to the middle of the Cubs lineup.
The Dodgers got embarrassed. They have the better starter on the mound, they’re at home, and they’re built to respond. This is a strong spot to expect a focused effort, especially early.
Take: Dodgers Team Total Over 4.5 Runs -150
