Chicago Cubs vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction: The Reds won't have time to recover from their trip

The season series between the Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati is 2:2. Who will take the lead at the end of game five? Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Chicago Cubs

Chicago was not expected to have any achievements before the start of this championship. However, such a weak first half was still a surprise. The Cubs would approach their next divisional series with Cincinnati higher than their opponent but in 13th place in the National League standings with a 28-45 lead. Only Washington is worse than the Cubs, except for the Reds.

Keegan Thompson will pitch for Chicago in the upcoming game, going 7-2 and posting a 3.10 ERA in 16 games.

Cincinnati Reds

The team has not been at its best this season, but they are still one of the strongest teams in the National League. So a win at Oracle Park should be very honorable for Cincinnati. The Reds won 2 out of 3 games against the Giants (4:2, 2:9, 10:3). Significant success didn't help Cincinnati move out of last place in the consolidated conference table, which they occupy with a balance of 25-47.

Luis Castillo will pitch for the Reds in Game 1 of the series at Wrigley Field, going 2-4 with a 3.71 ERA in nine starts this season.

Expert Betting Tips

With Keegan Thompson on the pitching hill, the Cubs have hardly lost a game this season. They are likely to succeed this time too. Moreover, Cincinnati traveled from San Francisco to Wrigley Field. A long-distance flight will hardly help them in the upcoming game.
