Cincinnati Reds vs Chicago Cubs Predictions 10/2/2022

Chicago swept to a victory in the first game of this series on Friday afternoon, becoming the fifth team in a row to win and the ninth in the previous ten games.

The Cardinals led the NL Central going into Saturday with the Cubs third, 20 games back. They are no longer eligible to play in the postseason. Ian Happ and Yan Gomes each had two singles for Chicago on Friday, while Nico Hoerner scored three runs.

In the last game of this series, Cubs pitcher Marcus Stroman is in the circle as he makes his 25th start of the year. He enters the game with a record of 5-7, a 3.66 ERA, a 1.146 WHIP, 34 walks, and 112 strikeouts in 132.2 innings pitched.

In his most recent start, which took place at home on Tuesday against the Phillies, Stroman was successful. He pitched seven innings in a game the Cubs finally won 2-1, giving up just one run on four hits, one walk, and six strikeouts.

Stroman has a 2-0 record, a 2.25 ERA, a 0.80 WHIP, 4 walks, and 18 strikeouts in 20 innings of work across his previous 3 starts. In this game, Stroman makes his sixth career appearance against the Reds.

The Cubs are 6-0 SU in their previous 6 matches.

Cincinnati Reds vs Chicago Cubs. The MLB pick for this game is the Chicago Cubs. Cincinnati’s season was ruined by injury, and having Anderson fill rotation positions did not make matters any better.

While he performed admirably in his most recent appearances, he lacks any type of length, which can rapidly strain a bullpen. This year, the Reds had trouble traveling, going 29-50 as of Saturday’s game.

While the Cubs struggled most of the season, they won nine of their previous 10 matches as of Saturday, and Stroman adjusted despite a rocky start to life in a Cubs uniform.

Chicago is gaining ground and has the advantage on the mound. In this game, bet on the Cubs to win the series. The Cubs will win to a predicted score of 5-2.
