You can bet the Cubs-Reds series Monday through Wednesday but there will be a heavy price tag on Chicago here, especially Monday where we were already seeing the Cubs and starter Jake Arietta priced at -250.
Arrieta is an ace coming off a loss and this scenario always deserves consideration, especially when facing a poor team like the Reds.
But more importantly, Arrieta has clobbered this Reds lineup. He’s allowed just 15 hits off of 74 at bats with zero home runs.
In his last start, Arrieta walked four and gave up four hits as the Cubs were swept by St. Louis. Arrieta now stands 11-2 on the season with an ERA of 1.74.
The Cubs have won 9 of the last 10 games in this series.
The Cubs are also 7-1 in the last 8 meetings in Cincinnati.
