- First five inning total set at O/U 4.0 with two starting pitchers with sub 1.00 WHIP’s.
CHICAGO – The Chicago Cubs will host the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday night.
Sports betting sites have listed a variety of betting odds to look at, but some of the most intriguing are the ones they’ve set on the alternate lines.
First Five Innings Total: O/U 4.0
When betting on the first five innings total, the most important factor is starting pitching. In this matchup we have Walker Buehler and Adbert Alzolay on the mound. Buehler has a 0.96 WHIP while Alzolay has a 0.90 WHIP.
Both pitchers have been prone to giving up the long ball but have been more or less shutdown pitchers aside from the home runs. Both are sitting down opponents in order more often or not which could mean a low scoring outing while these guys are on the bump.
MLB betting fans can get the Under 4.0 runs at -110 odds.
Chicago Cubs Alternate Line: -1.5 (+265)
The Cubs are underdogs in this matchup but could very well win the game convincingly. The Dodgers have lost 12 of their last 16 games. On the other side, the Cubs enter the game having won four of their last six.

Over the last two weeks, Chicago is in the top five in batting average, on base percentage and slugging percentage. Los Angeles ranks in the bottom ten in batting average and slugging percentage over the last two weeks.
Total Hits, Runs and Errors: O/U 25.0
This game marks the final contest of a three-game series between the Cubs and Dodgers. In the series opener, the total hits, runs and errors was 26 in a seven-inning game, however that was with Clayton Kershaw’s worst career start allowing four runs on four hits in the first inning alone.
In game two, the total was 21 and should project more similarly to what tonight’s game will look like. Betting the Under will give -115 odds and could be the play in what might be a low scoring affair.
How to Watch
The game is set to start at 7:30 p.m. EST and will be aired on ESPN.
