This year, all seven of Taillon’s starts for the Cubs ended in losses. He did not pitch further than 5.0 innings yet and gave up at least three runs in six of his starts.

Taillon produced strong pitching in the Bronx as recently as last year. However, since moving to Chicago, his performance has not even come close to that, sporting an 8.10 ERA and a 1.725 WHIP.

The 24th-ranked bullpen in ERA for Chicago is likely working hard in this game. The Chicago Cubs rank third in the NL Central.

Cincinnati Reds vs. Chicago Cubs The MLB pick for this game is the Cincinnati Reds. Talion only pitched well in one game all season and doesn’t offer much length.

Behind him, the relievers aren’t stopping anyone. As the temperature increased, the Cubs’ offense became less effective.

Although Cincinnati isn’t particularly strong, their young pitcher performed better than Taillon this year. The Reds’ offense is enjoying a great month, and their bullpen is much better.

The Cincinnati Reds will win by a predicted score of 6-2.
