No more time to fool around for the Reds, who can't keep counting upon the Mets to throw them a wild card lifeline. Cincy needs a hot streak beginning right now to have a chance at the last NL wild card, and might catch a break tonight as the Cubs hit GABP after having sewn up their playoff berth last night in Pittsburgh. A brief pause after celebrating would be no surprise. Tonight, it's up to Hunter Greene to shake off last Saturday's poor effort in Sacto vs. the A's and pitch like he did in previous starts vs. the Mets and Blue Jays, both Reds win as Greene allowed just 2 ER in 13 1/3 IP (1.35 ERA). Play Reds on Money Line
The Cubs were likely partying all night having clinched a playoff spot, and in reality they don't have a lot to play for. Chicago won't be catching Milwaukee in the Central Division and will be the NL's top WC team. I'd expect a regular or two to sit here. Cincinnati is only two games out of the final WC spot and starts ace Hunter Greene, who is 4-1 with a 1.69 ERA at home. He's countered by Colin Rea, who is 0-2 with a 10.13 ERA this year vs. Cincinnati.
