The Cincinnati Reds will go for three in a row against the NL Central’s No.2 team, the Chicago Cubs, on Wednesday at Wrigley Field.
The Reds have put on a pitching master class to capture the first two games of their series against the Cubs. Cincinnati, which is pitching a 3.85 ERA this season, has surrendered three runs between Games 1 and 2. Zach Littel dazzled in his Reds debut, logging seven innings with one earned run and eight strikeouts. First baseman Spencer Steer drove in four of the five runs scored by the Reds on Tuesday.
The Cubs have lost three of their last four games to drop to 65-48 in the season. They are now trailing the 69-48 Milwaukee Brewers by four games with barely two months left in the regular season. Over the past five games, Chicago is pitching a 3.00 ERA but only averaging 2.5 runs per game on a .194 batting average.

Our Chicago Cubs vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction
Fearless Forecast: the Reds sweep the Cubs as Andrew Abbott and Cade Horton dominate on the mound.
This game offers an opportunity to turn your $100 bet into a $396 payout with a simple 2-leg parlay.
First, pick the Reds to win. Andrew Abbott (3-2, 2.89 ERA in his last 5) is set to start on Wednesday. The All-Star hurler has guided Cincinnati to a win in his last three starts vs. the Cubs, including that game where he blanked Chicago through seven innings in the Pirates’ 6-2 victory.
Then, wager on the Total Under 7.5 runs. The Cubs will start their ace, Cade Horton, who has recorded 4 shoutouts in his last 5 starts. Horton has posted a 3-2 record with a 1.26 ERA in his last 5 starts, averaging 0.80 earned runs per game in the stretch. This upcoming duel between Abbott and Horton is a must-watch event, pitting two of the best pitchers in the National League against each other. With dominant starters lined up on Tuesday and the Cubs averaging 2.0 runs in their last five, it only makes sense to pick the Under-8.0 runs.
Our betting prediction for the Cincinnati Reds vs. the Chicago Cubs: the Reds will win.
