Two of MLB’s marquee teams face off this weekend in Los Angeles as the Dodgers host the Cubs beginning Friday night.
Both teams are off to hot starts worthy of World Series contenders as LA chases a threepeat and Chicago looks for its deepest postseason run since winning it all a decade ago.
It’s no surprise a stacked Dodgers lineup leads the majors with an outrageous .828 OPS, but the pace-setters aren’t who you might expect. The two LA players in MLB’s top 15 in the category are Max Muncy (.981) and Andy Pages (.938), illustrating the array of options Dave Roberts has at his disposal.
Deep as the Dodgers are, the Cubs are right there with them in all-around excellence, ranking among the top five teams in both OPS and ERA. Nico Hoerner has been the hitting star so far, validating his contract extension with an .872 OPS, seven doubles and seven stolen bases.
Who will start the weekend with a win? Here’s everything you need to know to watch the series opener.
