Chicago at Cincinnati

Chicago has a losing road mark. The Cubs embark on a seven-game road trip on a 7-14 slide. The offense is 15th in runs, 16th in on-base percentage, 15th in steals, and 23rd in slugging. They've lost the last two starts made by Javier Assad, who has allowed 10 hits, 6 walks, and 6 runs in 10+ innings. The bullpen is just 22nd in ERA (4.36) and 25th in WHIP. The Cubs are 64-82 against teams with a bullpen WHIP of 1.350 or better. Cincinnati is second in the majors in stolen bases and playing well, on a 9-3 run. Batters are hitting just .210 off starter Hunter Greene (3.44 ERA), who has 76 Ks in 70+ innings. The Reds are 33-22 after two or more straight victories, so back home field. Play Cincinnati.
