Two of MLB's marquee teams face off this weekend in Los Angeles as the Dodgers host the Cubs beginning Friday night.
Both teams are off to hot starts worthy of World Series contenders as LA chases a threepeat and Chicago looks for its deepest postseason run since winning it all a decade ago.
It's no surprise a stacked Dodgers lineup leads the majors with an outrageous .837 OPS, but the pace-setters aren't who you might expect. The two LA players in MLB's top 10 in the category are Andy Pages (.980) and Max Muncy (.974), illustrating the array of options Dave Roberts has at his disposal.
Deep as the Dodgers are, the Cubs are right there with them in all-around excellence, ranking among the top five teams in both OPS and ERA. Nico Hoerner has been the hitting star so far, validating his contract extension with a .908 OPS, seven doubles and seven stolen bases.
