Chicago Cubs vs. Cincinnati Reds Prediction
Cincinnati was able to hold on for a victory in game one but has gotten steamrolled the last two nights in games that we easily hit on the total. Tonight with a chance to split the series, I expect a much stronger effort by Cincinnati; I just do not know if it will be enough to stop Chicago.
The Cubs have been hitting their stride lately, and despite dropping game one of this series, they still have lost zero momentum in my eyes. Tonight they face Southpaw Luke Weaver, who has been getting torched this season. He sports an ERA just shy of seven at 6.80, and his WHIP is nothing to brag about. I see no reason why this Chicago averaging a billion runs per game right now that has scored forty in their last two, should be of our concern offensively.
Cincinnati, however, needs to attempt to rally and, luckily, have a chance to get back in stride here tonight. They are still a talented squad, and although it was 36 runs allowed ago, they did beat this squad this week despite how hard it may be to believe. Cincinnati hitters have not faced Jameson Taillon too much but do have experience against him. Taillon heads into this game sporting a 5.46 ERA and a losing record.
