On the mound for the Cubs is lefty veteran Drew Smyly with a 1-1 record and a 4.70 ERA. However, he is a proven performer and could deliver a strong performance against the Dodgers. Opposing Smyly on the mound is lefty Jose Urias, who is one of the top pitchers in the league this season, with a 3-1 record and a 1.90 ERA.
