The Cincinnati Reds return home after a long road stretch that included a trip to Joey Votto’s homeland. We start this 7-game home stand with 4 games against the Chicago Cubs, a team who at one point was trying their hardest to match the Reds in wins, which is not a good thing to do in 2022. The Cubs will send Drew Smyly to the mound to kick off the series. Smyly, fresh off a world championship with the Atlanta Braves, is having a solid start to his 2022 campaign. He’s made 7 starts and owns a 3.97 ERA.
