The Cubs and Reds meet up for another series, this time in Chicago. When the two teams met up a little over a week ago at Great American Ballpark, Cincinnati was able to take 2 of 3.
Cincinnati Reds
One thing interesting to note about last week’s series between the Cubs and Reds was that Cincinnati was favored in all three games. The Reds took 2 of 3, but there only loss was against Friday’s Chicago starter Kyle Hendricks.
The Reds hit just .245 as a team vs. Hendricks but Joey Votto has had a lot of success going 9-21 (.429) with 3HR. The Reds are deadly in this spot as they are 4-3 over their last 7 with wins vs. Chicago (2), the Dodgers, and Milwaukee.

Friday’s O/U could be a high one when it is released due to the weather finally warming up at Wrigley and the fact that Anthony Desclafani is starting for the Reds. He has allowed 4ER in each of his last two starts, failing to pitch into the 5th either time.
Chicago Cubs
The Cubs had their chances at a windy Wrigley Field on Thursday but ultimately fell 9-7 to Philadelphia to split the 4-game series. Chicago’s lead over Milwaukee in the Central is down to just 1.5 games.
Chicago didn’t face Desclafani in last week’s series vs. the Reds and they’ve hit just .253 collectively vs. the right-hander. The Cubs are swinging some hot bats collectively recently though, and have hit 11 team HR over the last 7 games.
