The Cincinnati Reds have won seven of 10 against the Chicago Cubs here in 2019 following a 6-3 triumph in the series opener Monday night. I think their dominance in the season series will continue here with Anthony DeSclafani on the mound.

DeSclafani (5-4, 4.26 ERA) has allowed just two runs with 13 Ks in his last two starts. The 29-year-old right-hander has limited the Cubs to four runs through 9 2/3 innings of work on the season and he is 4-3 with a 3.84 ERA in 11 career starts against them.

Alec Mills will take the ball for Chicago as he makes his first start on the season- Mills is 0-1 with a 5.48 ERA in 10 career games (two starts) in the major leagues and I doubt the Cubs will be able to give him enough run support here.

The Reds are 4-1 in the last 5 meetings at Wrigley Field, 6-2 in DeSclafani's last 8 road starts and 4-1 in DeSclafani's last 5 starts vs. Chicago.

8* play on Cincinnati Reds.
