This is a 10* on CIN

The Reds look to put a disappointing stretch behind them when they visit Wrigley Field on Labor Day. Cincy no longer has the edge for the second Wild Card berth in the National League entering today’s action. They’ve fallen a half game behind San Diego, who is off Monday. The Reds just lost two of three at home to Detroit, an unacceptable result when you consider what they are playing for right now. Look for them to turn things around though against the Cubs, who had a horrible August. September has gone a bit differently on the North Side as the team is unbeaten. They’ve won six straight overall. But all six wins were against bad teams. The last four came in a weekend sweep of the terrible Pirates. Today’s pitching matchup greatly favors the Reds. Sonny Gray has a 1.00 ERA and 0.556 WHIP in his previous three starts. He’s won them all. Justin Steele is a rookie making just his fifth career start for the Cubs. The team has gone 1-3 in the first four, one of which was a 14-5 loss to the Reds. Play on CINCINNATI
