Cincinnati at Chicago

The Cincinnati Reds have put the wraps on the NL Central a long time ago. They are now playing out the string and getting their rotation in order for the playoffs. Mike Leake is 8-9 with a 4.69 ERA, and may not be in those plans unless he steps things up. He might be the odd man out as he has been the weakest link in the five-man Reds’ rotation. The Cubs have shined for brief periods during the season, and one of bright sports is occurring right now. Chicago has gone 6-1 in their last seven in the role of an underdog, while winning 7 of their last 11 games. They get a shot today vs. the Reds’ weak link in the rotation. Play on the Cubs.
