Probable Pitchers
Los Angeles Dodgers – Alex Wood – L – (16-3, 2.72 ERA, 151 K) Wood had the best season of his six-year Major League career by going 16-3 with a 2.72 ERA this year. Wood will make his first career postseason start in Game 4 even though he does have a bit of postseason experience as he tossed two scoreless innings in Game 4 of the 2016 NLCS a year ago. Chicago Cubs – Jake Arrieta – R – (14-10, 3.53 ERA, 163 K) Arrieta will make his second start this postseason after limiting Washington to one unearned run on two hits in Chicago’s 5-0 game 4 loss against Washington in the NLDS last round.Game Analysis
Heading into Wednesday’s Game 4 matchup, the Dodgers had yet to lose once since sweeping Arizona in the NLDS and bagging the first three games of their NLCS showdown against the Cubs. Los Angeles outscored Arizona 20-11 in three games and have outscored the Cubs 15-4 over the first three games of their NLCS matchup although Chicago had the more potent offense during the regular season. Heading into tonight’s Game 4, Chicago manager Joe Maddon sounded confident his team can win no matter the NLCS Game 4 Odds. “I know our guys — of course, we wanted to win one of those three,” Maddon said. “But we’re coming back, and we won’t be fazed in the sense that … this is a dire situation, [that] we can’t do this kind of thing. “We’ll be fine. We’ve had some tough losses before that we were able to bounce back from, and that’s what I’m talking about. I had the privilege of being in the clubhouse and in the dugout with these guys every day, and now I know what they’re like. I know what they feel like and how they respond to situations, and we’ll do the same thing tomorrow.” After trotting out Darvish on Tuesday, the Dodgers will give the ball to Alex Wood in Game 4. Ironically, the Dodgers lefty was on the mound opposite Chicago’s Arrieta when Los Angeles recorded a 4-0 win at home on May 26. Wood pitched five innings of shutout ball that day while allowing just two hits and striking out eight. Conversely, Arrieta was smacked around for four earned runs on five hits, including two home runs in six innings that day.Lates NLCS Betting Trends
