Kyle Tucker will face one of his old teams for the first time since signing with the Dodgers. Emmet Sheehan gets the ball for the Dodgers in the homestand opener, while Jameson Taillon pitches for the Cubs. This is the Dodgers’ first game on Apple TV this season, an exclusive broadcast which means no SportsNet LA for the series opener. The Dodgers have three Friday night games on Apple TV in the first half of the season. Wayne Randazzo will call the game alongside analyst Dontrelle Willis, plus reporter Heidi Watney.
