ASA top play on 10* Cincinnati Reds +150 vs. Chicago Cubs, 7:40 PM ET - Here we get a chance to play on a live underdog in the Reds in a great situation to grab a win against a struggling Cubs team. Chicago has been struggling to score runs in their last ten games, producing just 3.20 runs per game. In that same stretch of games, they are hitting just.214 against right-handed pitchers such as Justin Dunn who they’ll face today. Dunn doesn’t have great overall numbers on the season with a 4.63 ERA and 1.37 WHIP but he’s pitched well in his last three outings. He is 2-1 in his last three starts with 15 innings pitched, just 10 hits allowed and 4 earned runs. In the last 15 days the Reds have the 10th best team average hitting .257 as a team. Cincinnati has also won 5 of their last eight games. The Cubs are 2-8 SU their last ten games and coming off being swept in St Louis while getting outscored by a combined 4-18 in three games. Wade Miley has been injured for most of the season and making his first appearance since June 10th. We doubt Miley will go long in this game and then it’s a Cubs bullpen which has an ERA of 4.37 which is one of the worst numbers in baseball. The Reds are hitting .274 in their last ten games against lefties, and they’ll have early success in this one.
