The Chicago Cubs will attempt to push their winning streak to five games as they open a fresh series with their division rivals, the Cincinnati Reds, on Friday at Wrigley Field.
The Cubs are rolling again, winning their last five games to fortify their position atop the National League Central with a 35-21 record. Over the last 5 games, Chicago has pitched a 3.33 ERA and churned out 4.9 runs per game on a .260 batting average with at least a homer per game.
The Reds have won 3 of their last 5 games, but lost the series finale against the Kansas City Royals in a heartbreaker 2-3. The loss dropped the Reds to below .500 at 28-29, fourth in the NL Central Division. Over their last 5 matches, the Reds have averaged 6.1 runs per game but given up a 4.91 ERA.

Our Cincinnati Reds vs Chicago Cubs Prediction
Why you should bet on the Reds to win: Andrew Abbott is putting up terrific numbers from the mound in his last five starts, and I expect him to play a crucial role in Friday’s ballgame vs. the Cubs. Abbott averaged 1.0 earned runs against the Cubs over his last three starts against the same team, which all resulted in wins. Cubs starter Colin Rea allowed 6 earned runs in his last start vs. Cincinnati last May 24, which is something to be worried about as he prepares to face the Reds again.
Our betting prediction for the Cincinnati Reds vs. the Chicago Cubs: The Reds will win
