Worn-down pitching staffs are rampant across MLB. Pitching injuries and depth has been a concern for the Reds for more than two seasons now. The Cubs have had their own issues and Saturday will turn to spot starter Eddie Butler. With the pitching woes offsetting, look for Cincinnati’s bats to be the difference against struggling Chicago.
Eddie Butler has been a pleasant surprise as a spot starter for the Cubs, going 4-2 with a 3.71 ERA in nine starts, and they have won three of his past four road outings. He will go Saturday against Jackson Stephens, who is making is MLB debut for the Reds. Stephens has a 4.97 ERA in Triple-A and wallks nearly four batters per nine innings. Look for the struggling Chicago lineup ot get back on track in this one and notch a win while garnering a cheap price.
