NL Central rivals get set to play an important three-game series at Wrigley Field.

Cincinnati Reds at Chicago Cubs

Cincinnati has won six of its last eight games and moved its record to 10-1-1 in its last 12 series.  The Reds will now face off with a team that they’ve beaten five of six times this year, outscoring the Cubs by a 49-13 margin.  “Yeah, we’ve got to keep winning series and hopefully you throw a sweep or two in there somewhere,” manager Dusty Baker said.  The club is just a game over .500 with a 19-18 record this season (-150) and the total is 11-21 O/U in those contests.  Cincinnati is averaging 4.1 runs per game and hitting for a combined .259 average during the day, which is almost a full run lower (4.9) than its average for the year.  Playing divisional opponents has provided a boost to the team’s record all season, coming into this three-game series with a 31-18 record against NL Central opponents (+1,340).
