Premium Pick

Chicago goes for its third win in a row after shutting out the Dodgers 4-0 on Wednesday as Javier Baez had three hits to back Jon Lester. The Cubs have won 16 of their last 23 overall and 11 of their last 15 road contests. Also, the Cubs have won 43 of their last 60 versus right-handed starters dating to last season. Kyle Hendricks has given Chicago five or six solid innings and comes off a 6-3 win at St. Louis on Saturday when he allowed three runs on seven hits in six innings. Matt Harvey is 1-5 with a 5.92 ERA and the Reds have lost his last four starts as he's allowed 17 runs (16 earned) on 23 hits in just 21 1/3 innings pitched. Harvey is showing that the Mets made the right move by getting rid of him. Cincinnati has lost 21 of its last 27 against NL Central teams and the Reds are 13-23 at home this season and they are firmly in last place 15 games out of first. Play the Cubs.
