Following a rainout on Monday, the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs are set for a doubleheader on Tuesday, May 4.
Tuesday's first Dodgers vs. Cubs matchup will start at 2:20 p.m. ET with Clayton Kershaw taking on Kyle Hendricks.
Using our MLB betting model projections, we detail the edge to back for Dodgers vs. Cubs.

Dodgers vs. Cubs Odds

Dodgers Odds	-200

Following Monday night's rainout, the Los Angeles Dodgers will take on the Chicago Cubs in a Tuesday doubleheader.

The first of today's Dodgers vs. Cubs matchups pits Clayton Kershaw against Kyle Hendricks in a game that is scheduled for seven innings, hence the 5.5-run over/under.

Kershaw is off to a stellar start this season, while Hendricks has been downright dreadful, as evidenced by a 7.54 ERA through four starts.

So, what is the smartest way to bet Dodgers vs. Cubs on Tuesday afternoon?

Should bettors expect a gem from Kershaw to keep this under the total in what will likely be just a seven-inning game? Or, will the Dodgers' bats rock a shaky Hendricks to the over?

Thanks to our MLB PRO Projections, we know where the value lies in this matchup.
