Taking the REDS here. Will fade Sammy and the Cubs here. Chicago 3-13 in his last 16 home starts. As good as Samardzija's number are, he just doesn't win. Simon the other hand has been. The Reds are 7-1 his last 8 on the road. Cubs have lost Samardzija's last 4 starts vs Cincy. Reds have own 7 of 10 and look to be getting their house in order. Simon has been terrific on the road posting a 7-1 record in 8 starts coupled with a 2.66 ERA. He will need to be because I can't take anything away from Sammy and his dominate home numbers. But the fact remains that Cincy is playing well. The Cubs are entertaining trade offers. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI REDS
