REDS VS CUBS MLB PREDICTION
The slumping Cincinnati Reds have lost 7 of 9. Lefty Wade Miley (11-5, 2.97 ERA) will try to get the Reds back on track. Miley is 3-1 with a 3.24 ERA in his past 7 starts and he is 8-4 with a 4.04 ERA in 15 career starts against the Cubs. Adrian Sampson (0-1, 1.59) is set to start for the Cubs. The right-hander has faced the Reds once in his career, taking a no-decision at Cincinnati on Aug. 18 after allowing one run and five hits in four innings. Sampson has not started since but is coming off Thursday’s relief appearance against Pittsburgh when he pitched 3 1/3 scoreless and hitless innings while striking out 4. The Cubs are playing their best baseball since the trade deadline, winning 7 consecutive games. Ride the hot team and fade the cold team here and go with the Cubbies to get the win.
