                • Wrobleski on a heater (2 runs in 20 IP)<\/li>\n
                • Playing at Dodger Stadium<\/li>\n
                • Trying to avoid the series loss<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                  The Dodgers CRUSHED us yesterday. Wrobleski is dealing. This is a tough spot.<\/p>\n

                  Key Matchups at Dodger Stadium<\/h2>\n

                  Shota Imanaga (25 Ks in April) vs Dodgers Lineup<\/strong>
                  \nImanaga has been great in April (3 runs in 24 IP). But the Dodgers scored 12 yesterday. Can he shut them down?<\/p>\n

                  Cubs Offense vs Justin Wrobleski (2 ER in 20 IP)<\/strong>
                  \nWe scored 4 runs yesterday but Wrobleski is on fire (2 runs in 20 innings this month). Tough matchup.<\/p>\n

                  Bounce Back<\/strong>
                  \nWe got CRUSHED 12\u20134 yesterday after our ten-game win streak ended. Can we respond with a win today?<\/p>\n

                  Series on the Line<\/strong>
                  \nSeries tied 1-1. Winner takes the series. We need to avoid going 1-2 against the defending champs.<\/p>\n

                  What the Cubs Need in the Series Finale<\/h2>\n

                  Shota Imanaga Shuts Them Down<\/strong>
                  \nImanaga has been great in April (25 Ks, 4 walks, 3 ER). Stop the Dodgers’ hot offense.<\/p>\n

                  Offense Bounces Back<\/strong>
                  \nWe scored only 4 runs yesterday in the blowout. Attack Wrobleski even though he’s dealing.<\/p>\n

                  Bullpen Recovers<\/strong>
                  \nOur bullpen got DESTROYED yesterday (gave up 8 runs). Bounce back today.<\/p>\n

                  Win the Series Finale<\/strong>
                  \nSeries tied 1-1. Win today and we WIN THE SERIES at Dodger Stadium despite yesterday’s blowout.<\/p>\n

                  Cubs Fan Prediction: We Bounce Back<\/h2>\n

                  Final Score: Cubs 5, Dodgers 3<\/strong><\/p>\n

                  Shota Imanaga dominates\u20147 innings, 3 runs. Bounces back after yesterday’s disaster.<\/p>\n

                  Our offense scores 5 runs against Wrobleski (who’s been great but we can get to him). Hoerner and Happ contribute.<\/p>\n

                  The Dodgers score 3 but Imanaga shuts them down. We bounce back from yesterday’s blowout.<\/p>\n

                  Two-run win. We’re 18\u201310, EIGHT GAMES OVER .500<\/strong>. We WIN THE SERIES 2-1 at Dodger Stadium.<\/p>\n

                  Why the Series Finale Matters<\/h2>\n

                  We’re 17\u201310 after our TEN-GAME WIN STREAK ended with yesterday’s brutal 12\u20134 loss. The Dodgers are 18\u20139 after destroying us. Series is tied 1-1.<\/p>\n

                  Win today and we’re 18\u201310 with a SERIES WIN at Dodger Stadium. Show we can bounce back from the blowout.<\/p>\n

                  Can Imanaga dominate? Will our offense respond? Can we avoid losing the series?<\/p>\n

                  We went 78\u201384 last year. Going 18\u201310 with a series win at Dodger Stadium (despite the blowout) would be HUGE.<\/p>\n

                  Go Cubs Go. Bounce back and win the series in LA.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
