The Cubs have won eight series in a row for the first time in over a decade and they now head to Cincinnati for the first time in 2019 to face the last-place Reds. It’s not going to be easy, though, as Cincy boasts the second-best staff in the majors according to ERA, FIP and fWAR. That’s a tough nut to crack, but this Cubs team is capable of hanging crooked numbers with ease.
They’ll be trying to do that without Anthony Rizzo, who’s resting his tight back for another day after missing Sunday’s win over the Brewers.
