The Reds own the Cubs this year and I look for Cincinnati to get their first home sweep over Chicago in 15 years. Cincy has won six of the seven games this season and in the last five meetings between these clubs, the Reds have outscored the Cubs 31-13. Two big name pitchers go today but neither is pitching well this season. Ryan Dempster owns a 6.32 ERA (8.79 on the road) while Bronson Arroyo has pitched to a 5.37 ERA. But, the difference here is in the bats. The Reds get 5.7 per game at home while Chicago manages just 4.0 per game on the road. The Cubs are just 10-17 this season in day games and 15-29 vs. right-handed pitchers. Take the Reds to close this series out with a win.
