Chicago Cubs vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction & Picks - MLB
by Dan Angell | in MLB Picks
The Chicago Cubs (31-32 SU, 29-34 ATS) look to maintain their hold on second place in the NL Central as they visit the Cincinnati Reds (30-33 SU, 35-28 ATS). The Cubs' biggest problem has been their play inside their own division, as they've gone just 7-13 against the NL Central. That includes a 1-3 record against Cincinnati, which won the opening game of the series Thursday.
Chicago has seen a fair amount of runs scored lately, as it hasn't allowed fewer than five runs in any of its past eight games. The Cubs' biggest problem with their pitching and defense is that their defense is wedded to the three true outcomes. Chicago ranks third in the majors in strikeouts, but the Cubs have more walks than anyone in the NL Central.

Our Chicago Cubs vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction
The Reds just saw Justin Steele last week, and they didn't do a good job of spreading out their scoring or taking advantage of opportunities. Cincinnati scored five runs in that game, but they got four of those runs off Cub errors and didn't threaten again off anyone in the Chicago bullpen. That was also a rarity for Steele, who hasn't been on the winning end in any other game this season.
Cincinnati has hit since then. The Reds have piled up 42 runs in their past eight games, putting all of them in the win column. Cincinnati also sends Nick Lodolo to the mound, and the left-hander just held the Cubs to two runs in six innings last time out. With the Reds hitting pretty well, now's a good time to get aggressive on the home team. Our prediction for Chicago vs. Cincinnati is Reds -1.5.
