Chicago Cubs (77-59) and Cincinnati Reds (64-72) will wrap up their exciting three-game series on Sunday night at Wrigley Field. The Cubs recovered from their painful 8-10 opening day defeat to pound the Cubs 17-5 on Saturday evening. Peter Crow Armstrong had a strong outing, homering three times while driving in six runs to help the Cubs get their sweet revenge. They’ll be pumped up to clinch this series tonight as the -145 betting favorites.
Cincinnati Reds, on the other hand, will be impressed with their performance so far despite shipping in 25 runs in their first two games. The Reds have scored 15 runs against the Cubs, although there are worries that Friday’s success was against relievers. The Saturday night defeat for the visitors was even more painful as it almost guaranteed their elimination from the playoff race. They must bounce back tonight and hope for the best possible outcome.

Our Chicago Cubs vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction
This series has been a thriller, with both sides brandishing their offensive firepower. However, we expect today’s starting pitchers to command their areas and keep the scores down. The Reds will start Chase Burns, who is 14-3 this season with an ERA of 2.77. The Cubs will counter his influence with Shota Imanaga, who will be seeking to improve his 8-9 record and 3.78 ERA. He has dominated hitters recently and is capable of delivering five or six solid innings. Overall, we expect the Cubs to maximize their home advantage as they try to improve their NL wild-card standings.
Our prediction for Chicago Cubs vs Cincinnati Reds: Chicago Cubs to win.
