Chicago at Cincinnati

The Chicago Cubs decided they would be sellers at the trade deadline, and it has since been a race to the bottom for this team. They are 1-14 since the trade deadline. The Reds took the opener in this series in easy fashion as they won 14-5. Despite all the negative news regarding the Cubs slide, I think this one has been "overbaked" into the line. A team that lost their previous game by nine runs or more come back to win 46% of the time in their next game. That is especially true because the Cubs are sending Vladimir Gutierrez to the mound. The Cubs have won four straight starts he has made and six of his last seven. The line appears to be enhanced here. Make the play on the Chicago Cubs.
