Skubal to debut for Dodgers Tuesday vs Cubs

Two-time Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal will make his Los Angeles Dodgers debut on Tuesday night against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field.

Skubal was acquired by the Dodgers in a trade from the Detroit Tigers on Saturday night. The reigning champions sent three prospects to Detroit: outfielder Zyhir Hope, and right-handers River Ryan and Brady Smith.

The left-handed pitcher has faced the Cubs three times in his career with a 4.12 ERA. This will mark his first career start at Wrigley Field. Skubal's last start for the Tigers came last Wednesday, where he recorded his 1,000th career MLB strikeout. In his last six starts with Detroit, he posted a 1.95 ERA over 37 innings. betsport.cv
