The Dodgers go for their third win on as many getaway days in the series finale against the Cubs on Thursday afternoon at Wrigley Field in Chicago, a game featuring a pair of southpaws back after missing nearly all of last season.
Hyun-jin Ryu starts for the Dodgers, looking to last longer than the 4u2154 innings he pitched last Friday at Coors Field. He has a tall task ahead, as the Cubs have punished left-handed pitchers in the early going, hitting .373/.479/.542 in all of 71 plate appearances.
Brett Anderson gets the call for the Cubs, coming off a season that saw him pitch 11u2153 innings for the Dodgers, 6u2154 more than Ryu.
