Cincinnati is on a five-game win streak after defeating the Cubs 8-4 on Thursday and it featured a three-run homer by Elly De La Cruz and Chicago was held to five hits as they went under .500 for the season. The Reds will start Nick Lodolo, who is 5-2 with a 3.11 ERA and a sparkling 0.99 WHIP and they have won his past two starts as he has allowed only three runs on 12 hits in 11 1/3 innings. Lodolo already has faced the Cubs once this season and gave up two runs on seven hits in six innings. Chicago has lost five of eight and it is 0-5 in Justin Steele's past five road starts and the Cubs have lost six of his seven starts this season and 10 of 11 dating to last season. However, Steele did allow just one run in five innings his last outing against the Reds on Saturday. Cincinnati has gone UNDER 13 of its past 21 home games. Take the Reds and the UNDER.
