The Cubs have been doing well this season. Ian Happ contributed to the scoring with an OPS of 0.793 at an average of 0.275. The batters have done a great job lately, and the team is on a fine run of nine wins in ten games.
Justin Steele has performed the pitching duties well. He has an ERA of 3.18, 126 Ks and a WHIP of 1.35. The dependency on Steele has been immense. His absence creates a void in the team, so other players need to fill it with their contributions.
The Reds, meanwhile, have struggled this season with both batting and pitching.They have been let down by poor pitching and have been overly dependent on Kyle Farmer for scoring.
Apart from him, no other player has contributed much to the scoring. He has an average of 0.253 with 77 RBIs and an OPS of 0.697 this season. Alexis Diaz has delivered for the team since returning from an injury, registering an ERA of 1.76, 81 K and a WHIP of 0.96.
Chicago Cubs vs Cincinnati Reds Best Pick
Hayden Wesneski will start for the Cubs. He has done well this season and comes within a record of 3-1 into the game. His record against the Reds is brilliant, and Wesneski could make a strong impact here.
Hunter Greene will be on the mounds for the Reds. He's in great form, but his record against the Cubs is not the best. He has given up eight earned runs in the nine innings he has pitched against the Cubs.
Pick: Haydon, Earned Runs allowed under 2.5 (-145)
