So I've shaded his stats very slightly, not much, but some.    Dodgers are better than average against righties, but CUBS are VERY GOOD against lefties, which is why I have to give a nod to CUBS offense, but a slight nod to Skubal on the mound. IOW, just about dead-even.  Yet Dodgers, as usual are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over-priced.  Because they are likely due for a win they should be at least a modest fav.....BUT CUBS faced a pretty good lefty yesterday (Wroblewski) and led 7 - 4 at the half, before winning 10 - 5, proving their bats vs L are GOOD!  Soon they face another good lefty, albeit one coming from a pitcher friendly home for 6+ years and now, after a very emotional goodbye to his home & friends in Detroit, is thrust onto the mound with a new team in a new city.  THAT is VERY stressful!  It is an "intangible" that is so difficult to assess that it typically means "guessing" -- and I will not "guess"  Guessing is the antithesis of sound handicapping.   Skubal has pitched 9 games since mid-June after stint on IL.... Though he pitched WELL in all 9, 6 in pitcher friendly Comerica, the team went just 5 - 4.  And tonight he will face the BEST offense he has all year!  GOOD pitching does not necessarily equate to high win%.  It helps, sure, but I wouldn't lay HEAVY JUICE on the performance of just one player.    22 - 9  since last Thursday, entering today . . .
