| | | LA DODGERS: LOS ANGELES (AP) - The Dodgers have spent big bucks on their roster, ramping up World Series expectations right along with the payroll. Now they want to produce results. They'll get the chance starting Saturday in Australia, where they open the season against NL West rival Arizona. With a payroll in the range of $225 million-plus, the Dodgers have laid the groundwork to get to their first World Series title since 1988, when they won the title. They came up short last year, losing to St. Louis in six games in the NL championship series. ''The expectations going in this time are realistic. We're a talented club and we're capable,'' said manager Don Mattingly, who signed a three-year extension in January. The Dodgers want to avoid the poor start they had last season, when key players were injured and the team had to rally to get back into the division race. They eventually won the title by 11 games over the Diamondbacks. ''We need to be more consistent,'' Mattingly said. ''I see it as winning every series and you'll be in pretty good shape. The next thing you know, you're 20 games over .500.'' First baseman Adrian Gonzalez is looking to follow up his strong season last year, while shortstop Hanley Ramirez, who was injured in the NL championship series, will be playing to set himself up for impending free agency.
| | CHICAGO CUBS: CHICAGO (AP) - Wrigley Field is decked out for the party of a century.
As for the Chicago Cubs?
It looks like there won't be much to celebrate this season other than their ballpark's 100th anniversary. As Wrigley hits a milestone, the Cubs remain in a rebuilding mode, hoping to avoid their fifth straight losing season.
They have a new manager in Rick Renteria. Their outlook looks about the same, though.
It's all about the future, the prized prospects in the system, no matter how painful that might be to the players in uniform at the major league level. More lumps appear to be in store for the Cubs as they enter their third year with Theo Epstein as president of baseball operations.
''The objective is to win as many games as possible, be the last man standing and bring a championship to the city of Chicago,'' pitcher Edwin Jackson said. ''The motivation is still the same. The message is still the same. We want to go out and win. We don't want to go out and be a pushover.''

*Dodgers-Cubs Preview* ======================
By JEFF MEZYDLO STATS Senior Writer
Los Angeles (86-65) at Chicago (67-84), 8:05 p.m. EDT
If Zack Greinke can improve upon two previous starts at Wrigley Field, the Los Angeles Dodgers have a chance to rebound from a rough series on their final trip of the season.
Greinke can end his road struggles against the Chicago Cubs by winning a third straight start while helping the Dodgers avoid matching a season high with their third consecutive defeat Thursday night.
Los Angeles (86-66) began its trip by taking two of three in San Francisco, but after Monday's 11-3 win in Colorado was outscored 26-6 in the final two games of that set.
The Dodgers lead the Giants by two games in the NL West after a 16-2 loss Wednesday.
Greinke (15-8, 2.64 ERA) would appear to give them a good opportunity to get back on track after going 3-0 with a 1.69 ERA over his last five starts. The right-hander gave up four hits in six innings of a 17-0 rout of San Francisco on Saturday.
"Zack slammed the door," manager Don Mattingly told MLB's official website.
Though Greinke has allowed three runs, 14 hits and struck out 37 over 30 innings while going 4-0 against the Cubs (68-84) while pitching at home for the Dodgers and Milwaukee, he's given up 16 runs and 17 hits in nine innings to go 0-2 at Wrigley.
During his most recent visit in 2012, Greinke gave up eight of those runs in 3 2-3 innings of an 8-0 loss while with the Brewers.
Greinke did not face Chicago when it took two of three at Dodger Stadium last month. Los Angeles, however, swept a four-game set on the North Side last season.
Yasiel Puig went 6 for 10 with a home run at Wrigley in 2013, and is 15 for 29 in nine career games versus Chicago. He went 0 for 3 on Wednesday after batting .409 in the first five games of the trip following his 6-for-53 slump.
Puig didn't face Cubs rookie Tsuyoshi Wada (4-3, 3.34) when he allowed only a two-run homer to Matt Kemp in 5 2-3 innings of a 5-2, 12-inning loss Aug. 2.
The left-hander went 4-1 with a 2.56 ERA in his first eight starts but is 0-2 with a 5.93 mark in the last three. He gave up four runs and nine hits in 4 1-3 innings of a 7-3 loss at Pittsburgh on Friday.
Hanley Ramirez went 2 for 2 with a double off Wada and hit a winning three-run homer in that contest last month.
Mattingly hopes Ramirez will return at some point in this series after not starting Tuesday and sitting Wednesday with an elbow strain. Ramirez was batting .444 in 10 games prior to Tuesday's contest.
"(He's) better than he was (Tuesday)," Mattingly said. "So I'm hoping another day will get him (where he needs to be)."
Though no longer an everyday player, Darwin Barney could face his former team for the first time since the Dodgers acquired him from Chicago on July 28. A Gold Glove winner with the Cubs in 2012, the light-hitting infielder went 2 for 3 with his first homer in 59 games Wednesday.
Former teammate Luis Valbuena is 7 for 18 with three doubles against Greinke.
Valbuena had two hits with an RBI on Wednesday as Chicago won 3-1 to complete a three-game sweep of Cincinnati that followed a stretch of eight losses in nine contests.
