Season series: First meeting of 2023. The Dodgers swept 7 games from the Cubs in 2022.

Chicago took 4 of 6 in a Friday-Wednesday homestand against the Texas Rangers and Seattle Mariners. The feast-or-famine Cubs have scored 10 or more, or 3 or fewer runs, in each of their last 7 games.

The Dodgers won 2 of 3 from the San Francisco Giants Monday-Wednesday. Los Angeles scored a combined 19 runs over its 2 wins.

A year ago, L.A. outscored Chicago 44-20. But all 4 games at Dodger Stadium were decided by 2 runs or less.
