Cincinnati is coming off of a series win against Colorado, where they won two out of the three games played. The Cincinnati pitching staff has a 4.92 ERA, a 1.40 WHIP, and a .255 opponent batting average this season.

The projected starter for Cincinnati is Justin Dunn, who is 1-2 with a 4.63 ERA and a 1.37 WHIP over 23.1 innings pitched this season.

The Chicago Cubs are 56-78 this season and have lost seven of their last eight games. Chicago is coming off of a series loss against the Cardinals, where they lost all three games played in the series. The Chicago pitching staff has a 4.33 ERA, a 1.34 WHIP, and a .250 opponent batting average. The Cubs offense has scored 547 runs with a .240 batting average and a .311 on base percentage this year.

Cincinnati is 2-5 in their last 7 road games and 2-7 in their last 9 game one’s of a series. The under is 7-2 in Cincinnati’s last 9 Tuesday games. Chicago is 4-9 in their last 13 Tuesday games and 1-7 in their last 8 games. The over is 4-1-2 in Chicago’s last 7 games. The over is 3-1-1 in these two teams last 5 head to head meetings.

These two teams come into this game in third and fourth place in the NL Central and are out of playoff contention. The Cubs have lost seven of their last eight games, but will be at home. Justin Dunn has pitched pretty well for the Reds in his last three starts and I am taking them to win here.
