Here's the Dodgers vs. Cubs preview with matchup odds, game time, TV channel, and how to see the game live streaming online.

MLB game preview

The Los Angeles Dodgers are easily the hottest team in baseball right now, as they've won 11 of their last 12 games. The team has rolled through their first five playoff games including an NLDS sweep of the Wild Card winners, the Arizona Diamondbacks. They're now up 2-0 on the Chicago Cubs after winning Game 2, 4-1. Justin Turner smashed a three-run home run in the bottom of the ninth which helped his team capture the big win. Kenley Jansen picked up the pitching victory while Cody Bellinger was 2-for-3 in the game and Turner finished 2-for-4 with four RBI to help his team get the win.

After winning last year's World Series in thrilling fashion and going 92-70 this season, the Chicago Cubs are now in danger of being eliminated with two more losses.

The team has managed just three runs over the first two games of the series. Addison Russell had the only RBI in Game 2, while Albert Almora Jr. had the two RBI in the first game of this series. They'll need a strong pitching performance tonight and to hope their bats come alive or they'll be one loss away from elimination.

Tonight's starting pitcher will be Yu Darvish on the mound for the Dodgers. The Cubs will turn to Kyle Hendricks hoping he can keep the Dodgers' bats calm enough for the home team to grab a victory in the series.

Oddsmakers have the Cubs listed as the home favorites. They're currently -115 money line favorites, while the Dodgers are +105 underdogs.

The over/underruns total is eight runs for the complete game in Chicago.
