TOP-RATED 10* MLB RUNLINE PLAY OF THE DAY
(MLB) Chi Cubs vs. Cincinnati,
Point Spread: -1.50 | -116.00 Cincinnati (Home)
Result: Win
The slumping Cubs have dropped 11 straight games. I expect their struggles to continue against a Reds team that has won nine of 13 head-to-head meetings on the season (five of six in Cincinnati).

Cubs rookie left-hander Justin Steele (2-1, 2.95 ERA) has mostly been pitching out of the bullpen. He made his first start last week and gave up three runs on five hits (two homers) in five innings of a 4-2 loss to Milwaukee.

The Reds turn to left-hander Wade Miley (9-4, 3.00 ERA) who is 1-0 this season against the Cubs with a 3.94 ERA in three starts. The Cubs are averaging only 3.75 runs per game on the road.

10* play on Cincinnati Reds -1.5.
