The Reds' dominance over the Cubs in 2024 continues, on Monday the Reds took Game 1 being the 6th win in 8 opportunities against the Cubs. Taillon did not have a good start, allowing 6 ER in 4.1 IP. Spiers for the Reds had a great start in his return, blanking the Cubs in 5.0 IP and striking out 4.

Benson and Candelario hit HRs, long-distance hits are the main weapon of a Reds team that does not hit for a very high collective AVG, 228, the 3rd worst in the MLB. Still, they are consistent in giving HRs, they are the team with the most stolen bases in the MLB 155 and one or another great start by their starters has the Reds with a record of 51-55.

Since July 4, the Cubs have not scored 10 runs in a game. The Cubs have a slightly better collective AVG than the Reds, at 232, but a worse HR count with just 106, making them the 6th team in MLB with the fewest.

Steele will start for the Cubs in Game 2 on Cincinnati night. He has a very good ERA that is not reflected in his record and the Cubs have lost in his last two starts.
