MLB odds: Baseball lines from Las Vegas
Chicago took the first and third game of this four-game series on Thursday and Saturday, and Cincinnati won on Friday. The Cubs, sitting third in the NL Central, are trying to keep their swagger, while Cincinnati, five games below .500, are trying to find theirs.
DeSclafani had a great Spring Training, and so far this regular season, he’s pitched plenty of gems mixed in with a few stinkers. In a 5-2 home loss against the Cubs on April 26, he gave up only one run in five innings. He comes into tonight’s game winning his past three starts.
While Lester struggles, let’s roll with the Reds and take advantage of a huge price behind a starter who has figured things out.
