Addison Russell goes yard for second straight game, Cubs take 3-2 lead in NLCS
Chicago Cubs shortstop Addison Russell was 2-for-5 from the dish on Thursday, swatting a two-run home run as the Cubs beat the Dodgers to take a 3-2 lead in the NLCS.
Russell was held without a hit through the first three games of the series, but his bat came alive in Game 4, and over the last two games he has five hits, two home runs, four RBI's and four runs scored.
Now with the series lead, our models give the Cubs a 52.2 percent chance of winning the World Series -- the best odds among the remaining three teams.
