Free Chicago Cubs vs. Cincinnati Reds MLB Prediction:
While the Cubs are certainly the better team on paper, it’s the Reds with the pitching edge in this one.
4* Free MLB Betting Pick: Reds ML
I expect Castillo to have a terrific start, while Lester pitches decent. The Cubs will score some runs in the last few innings off the Reds bullpen, but it will be too late. Take the Reds at this terrific price.
MLB Free Score Prediction: Reds 5 – Cubs 3
