Cincinnati at Chicago

Aroldis Chapman has been the stabilizer in the back of the Cincinnati bullpen, but he allowed 3 runs in the ninth inning yesterday and almost blew the 4-run save opportunity. The rest of the Reds' pen has been pretty bad, and after throwing a lot of pitches to get out of the ninth yesterday, Chapman may not be an available option this afternoon. The Cubs go with Jeff Samardzija who is undoubtedly their best option in the rotation. The Reds have won just four road games all season, and are 0-4 as a road favorite in their last four. The Cubs are 5-2 behind Samardzija at home, and have taken 9 of their last 13 at home vs. a left-handed starter. Go with the Cubbies.
