MIKE LUNDIN'S CUBS @ REDS FREE PICK
(MLB) Chi Cubs vs. Cincinnati,
Money Line: -110.00 Chi Cubs (Away)
Result: Loss
The Chicago Cubs overcame a five-run deficit to earn a 9-7 win over Atlanta on Thursday afternoon. I think they'll ride that momentum to another triumph here in the opener of a three-game series with the Cincinnati Reds.

Cubs' left-hander Cole Hamels (6-2, 2.92 ERA) has been red hot lately, allowing a total of just four runs over his last five starts while working at least seven innings in each. Hamels has dominated the Reds throughout his career, entering this contest with a stellar 11-1 record behind a 1.91 ERA and 1.03 WHIP in 17 encounters with Cincinnati.

The Reds hand the ball to right-hander Sonny Gray (3-5, 4.03) who is 0-1 with a 4.50 ERA in two career outings versus the Cubs. He has allowed three runs or more in three straight starts and has served up two homers in back-to-back starts.

Cubs are 11-4 in Hamels' last 15 starts. Reds are 0-4 in their last 4 overall.
