Game Preview

On Wednesday, the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Chicago Cubs will conclude their series with both teams looking to bolster their playoff prospects using pitchers who have faced setbacks this season.

The Cubs are on the brink of sweeping the series after converting Dodgers’ eighth-inning errors into a 6-3 win on Tuesday, marking their eighth straight road victory. They’re aiming for their third sweep since late August, now only four games behind the last wild-card spot held jointly by the Atlanta Braves and New York Mets.

The Dodgers, leading the NL West, will introduce right-hander Bobby Miller (2-4, 7.79 ERA), who has struggled with injuries and form this season. Miller is hoping for a rebound after a disappointing outing last week where he surrendered seven runs over five innings against the Angels.

Opposing him will be Cubs’ lefty Jordan Wicks (2-3, 4.03 ERA), who also returned from injury recently. Wicks has made two starts since coming off the injured list on September 1, earning a win and a loss. He previously faced the Dodgers in April, delivering a solid performance but taking a loss.

The Cubs have shown formidable resilience, bouncing back from a low-scoring series against the Yankees to dominate the Dodgers with significant runs and exceptional outfield defense, highlighted by Pete Crow-Armstrong’s late-game heroics.

Meanwhile, the Dodgers are adjusting to rotational challenges and an inconsistent season from Miller, with postseason pitching roles still uncertain. They aim to close the series strongly and maintain their division lead over the Padres.
