Chicago Cubs -140
(MLB) Chi Cubs vs. Cincinnati,
Money Line: -140.00 Chi Cubs (Away)
Result: Loss
I will be riding with the Chicago Cubs in the final game of this series. Chicago has the advantage on the mound, as Keegan Thompson has been on fire as of late. He completely shut down the Nationals in his last start and I see him doing the same in this matchup with the Reds. Cincinnati is scoring the 19th least amount of runs per game and they have the 21st lowest overall team batting average. They will continue to struggle to reach base consistently, as they won't give themselves enough chances to score in this game to have a chance. I also see Chicago having the bullpen advantage, as Chicago will be able to continue scoring throughout this entire game. The Reds bullpen is allowing the most runs per game, as they have continued to get shelled all season. The Cubs are scoring 4.16 runs per game and they have the 15th highest overall team batting average. Chicago has also been seeing the ball great against RHP. Over their last 10 they are hitting .260 against RHP. They will consistently score throughout this game, as they will slowly pull away from the struggling Reds. Thompson will show up on the road in this one, as he will give his team a great chance of winning. Take the Chicago Cubs ML and trust their pitching in this one.
