Chicago at Cincinnati

First-place Chicago is playing well with an offense that is #11 in runs, seventh in on-base percentage, eighth in slugging. The Cubs pounded out 19 hits in a 12-5 romp last night. Yu Darvish is in a nice groove, allowing seven runs his last five starts (29 innings). That included a 5-2 win over these Reds throwing six shutout innings, with no walks and seven Ks. The Cincinnati Reds are #22 in runs scored, #21 in OBP, losing six of seven at home against winning teams. Trevor Bauer has been roasted his last two starts allowing 11 runs in nine innings. Over his last nine starts he's surrendered 29 runs and 58 hits in 52 innings. Play the Cubs.
