💰 Reds vs. Cubs prediction & best bet
Reds ML (+170)
Cincinnati is flying high coming off its largest ninth inning comeback in 68 years. It looks to continue that momentum against a Cubs team that has sputtered to a 2-5 record over the last seven games while being shut out twice in that span.
Eugenio Suarez and TJ Friedl were placed on waivers yesterday. But for this matchup, the team won’t miss Suarez and his 2-for-12 lifetime numbers against David Peterson. Even with his poor stats mixed in, current Reds hitters have combined for a .376/.432/.490 slash line and 25% extra-base hit rate against the Cubs southpaw.
