Chicago at Cincinnati

It has been a long time since the Chicago Cubs have fielded a World Series caliber team, and the organization and fans have suffered. This rendition is not a competitive group either, as the Cubs are off to a sluggish 18-29 start, and just 8-15 on the road. The Reds have played .600 baseball through 48 games, and have a stellar 17-6 mark at home. This is also one of the hottest teams in baseball, going 15-4 in their last 19 games. The Reds' pitching has been outstanding in allowing just one of their last 11 opponents to score more than 4 runs. The Cubs are just 6-18 in Wood's last 24 starts as a dog, and I see another comfortable Cincinnati win here. Play on Cincinnati on the runline.
