On The Horizon: Cubs vs. Dodgers series preview
Photo by Kenta Harada/Getty ImagesSince these teams met in Tokyo, the Cubs are 9-4 and the Dodgers are ... 8-4. So which team is better? And the Cubs have, theoretically at least, faced better opponents (D-backs, Padres, Rangers) while the Dodgers have feasted on a Braves team in a tailspin.
Fun fact: Shohei Ohtani still isn’t close to returning to pitching duty, so he won’t face the Cubs this year (since the only other 2025 Cubs/Dodgers series is 11 days away at Wrigley Field, and Ohtani won’t be pitching by then). The Cubs are one of only five teams Ohtani has never pitched against. One of the other four is his former team, the Angels. The others: Brewers, Mets, Phillies.
