The Cubs headed into this series on a seven-game winning streak. They've dropped the first two games of the series, but I think they'll close out the year with a win. Cincinnati right-hander Graham Ashcraft is 0-2 with an ERA of 8-10 ERA in his last three starts while Cubs righty Adrian Sampson is 2-0 with an ERA of 1.42 in his last three starts.

The Reds are 13-22 at home when the money line is +125 to -125. Cubs are 31-15 in their last 46 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400.
