Cincinnati Reds vs. Chicago Cubs
Saturday, September 28, 2024 – 02:20 PM ET at Wrigley Field
Reds Pitching Profile
Rookie Rhett Lowder (2-2, 1.40 ERA, 1.29 WHIP) will make just the sixth start of his career and will do it at historic Wrigley Field.
Lowder is coming off a stellar outing last Saturday in which he held the Pirates scoreless over five innings in a 7-1 rout of the Bucs. The 22-year-old righty has been lights out since ascending to the bigs at the end of August, allowing only four runs over his five starts.
Cubs Pitching Profile
Veteran Kyle Hendricks (4-12, 6.28 ERA, 1.51 WHIP) has had a rough season, but September was looking good until his last outing, when he allowed four runs on nine hits over 5.1 innings in a 5-1 loss to the Nationals. Before that hiccup, Hendricks had pitched well over his previous three starts, surrendering five runs over 16.1 innings.
The Pick
Entering this series, the Reds have won 6 of their last 8 meetings with the Cubs, and now they have a stone-cold killer on the hill facing a veteran Cubs pitcher in Kyle Hendricks, who could be gassing out as the season winds down. Let’s back the young gun and watch the Reds win this one going away.
Predicted Score: Reds 7 – Cubs 3
