Chicago at Cincinnati

Seventh straight road game for Chicago, meaning the Cubs have played 13 of 19 games away from home. They looked road weary yesterday, getting bombed by Cincinnati, 13-5, as a -165 favorite. The Reds smacked four home runs. Cincinnati hit .289 off Chicago starter Jason Hammel last season, and he faces a Reds team that is playing well at home with an 8-4 record. This is the seventh straight home game for the Reds, and 13 of their 19 games have been at home. Cincy starter Alfredo Simon is 4-1 with a 2.66 ERA in 16 games (six starts) against Chicago. The Reds are also 11-5 when Simon faces the NL Central, so grab the home dog again. Take Cincinnati.
