Chicago Cubs vs Cincinnati Reds: Kevin Gausman Under 2.5 Pitcher - Earned Runs (-161)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
Tonight, Kevin Gausman needs to keep the Cincinnati Reds from scoring more than two earned runs. He has been strong lately, allowing runs at a rate much lower than the league average. The Cubs also hit well against left-handed pitchers, which gives them a better chance to score, but Gausman has been tough on hitters.
The Reds have struggled in their last ten games, winning only three. Plus, the wind is blowing out toward the outfield, which can help hitters, but Gausman has been on point, averaging very few strikeouts lately. The most concrete risk is how competitive the Reds can be, especially if they find their rhythm at the plate.
