Look for the Cubs-Reds to reach double-digits in runs scored today at homer-friendly Great American Ball Park.
It's a good day for the hitters with temperatures in the 80's and the wind blowing out at 10 mph. There are a number of key batters back for each team with the Cubs regaining the services of Kris Bryant and Ben Zobrist while Zack Cozart has returned for Cincinnati after missing 10 games with a quad injury.
Cubs starter Jake Arrieta has lost his elite status. He's actually become a below average pitcher with a 4.67 ERA. Arrieta is worse on the road where he's 4-6 with a 5.04 ERA in 11 road outings this season. Arrieta allowed the Nationals to steal seven bases against him during his last start. The Reds are tied for the third-most steals in the majors.
Reds starter Tim Adelman has a 4.62 ERA. If it weren't for multiple injuries, he likely wouldn't even be in a starting rotation. Adelman has surrendered at least one homer in each of his last six starts, including seven in his last four starts. He's also walked 13 batters during his last four outings. Giving up walks and homers is especially difficult to overcome at Great American Ball Park.
