The Cincinnati Reds look to rebound from a 16-7 loss to the Cubs on Wednesday when they host Chi Cubs and Glendon Rusch.
The Cubs start Glendon Rusch, 0-0, 0 ERA. His last trip was a win, a 3-2 team win against the Astros, when he threw 7 innings, allowing 2 runs on 7 hits.
Chi Cubs brings a 1-0 overall mark (1-0 in the division) into this game versus a Cincinnati team carrying a 0-1 record.
If you don't see much advantage or edge between these teams, you and Vegas oddsmakers have it the same way. The game opened as a pick'em on the line and 10.5 on the total. On the season, the Reds are 0-1, while the Cubs are 1-0.
Dusty Baker's team hopes to build upon a 16-7 win over the Reds. They were 120 favorites in a game that went over the total.
The Reds pitching staff isn't known for keeping hitters off the basepaths. Their hits-allowed-per-game ratio is in the bottom three of the National League.
Some trends to consider:
Chi Cubs are 1-4-0 SU in its last 5 games after scoring more than 9 runs
Chi Cubs are 2-4-2 OU in its last 8 games
Chi Cubs are 3-7-1 OU in its last 11 away
Chi Cubs are 12-2-0 OU in its last 14 games against Cincinnati
Cincinnati is 5-0-0 OU in its last 5 games at home against Chi Cubs
Cincinnati is 12-2-0 OU in its last 14 games against Chi Cubs
Cincinnati is 5-1-0 OU in its last 6 games
Cincinnati is 2-4-0 OU in its last 6 at home
Next up:
