LOS ANGELES -- After a Dodgers blowout in Game 3 and Cubs blowout in Game 4, we're right back where we started in this series. It's all tied up. Only this time it's 2-2 and that means what's left is tantamount to a three-game series, with two coming in Wrigley Field and Clayton Kershaw set to start once. Game 5 starts at 8 p.m. ET on Fox (more on how you can watch and stream here).

It would appear we like Lester over Meada and believe the Cubs bats have awakened.
