Cincinnati at Chicago

Premium Pick

Both of these teams are done for the year. The Cubs have been finished for a long time and Cincinnati has been out of it for longer than they thought would be their fate in 2014. So what is left here for these teams? Neither team can score. Cincinnati is averaging 3.7 runs per game and Chicago 3.8 per game. Over their past seven games, they are getting 2.0 and 3.3 per game, respectively. Kyle Hendricks owns a 2.38 ERA (1.59 at home) so don't expect much here from the Reds at all. The Reds are 53-39 UNDER this season vs. NL teams with an OBP of .315 or worse (the Cubs are .294). And over the past three seasons, Cincy is 40-22 UNDER when facing an NL pitcher with an ERA of 2.70 or better. Go with the UNDER in this one.

1 unit on Game Total UNDER 7.5 -115 (risk 1 to return 1.87)
