Chicago Cubs vs Cincinnati Reds Predictions 5/26/2022

Cincinnati had a terrible start, losing 22 of its first 25 games. The Reds replied with an eight-game winning streak, sweeping eight of their following 12 games. They are struggling for the previous week, with Chicago delivering them their fourth setback in a five-game losing streak.

Toronto defeated the Reds in 2 of 3 matches, allowing only 5 runs in total. Cincinnati is last in the NL Central, five matches behind Pittsburgh for 4th place with a batting average of.217; the Reds are ranked 28th in the MLB at the plate.

Tyler Naquin, the right fielder, tops the struggling rotation with 34 hits and 22 RBIs. Tommy Pham leads the squad with 31 hits, while Brandon Drury leads the team with seven home runs.

The Reds are missing second baseman Jonathan India, who is out with a hamstring injury. Hunter Greene, a right-handed pitcher, is expected to start for the Reds on Thursday afternoon. He did not contribute to the decision his last time out, pitching six innings against Toronto and surrendering one run on four hits and two walks.

Greene tossed 7.1 no-hit frames in his prior outing, indicating that he improved in his last two starts.

The total went UNDER in 5 of Cincinnati’s previous 7 matches.
The Cincinnati Reds are 2-4 SU in their previous 6 matches.
The total went UNDER in 6 of Cincinnati’s last 8 matches against the Chi Cubs

Chicago Cubs vs Cincinnati Reds. The MLB pick for this game is the Cincinnati Reds. The Reds’ offense was not an issue in their first two losses in this series, scoring a total of eight runs. They couldn’t overcome poor pitching, but that should be less of a concern on Thursday.

Greene is returning from two strong starts in a row, including a 7.1-inning shutout and six innings of one-run ball. He has the potential to be one of baseball’s top pitchers, thus his recent success will frighten opposition lineups. Meanwhile, Steele is overvalued following two strong performances against the Diamondbacks.

On Thursday, I expect him to decline, making the Reds a good value bet. The Cincinnati Reds will win to a predicted score of 4-3.
