MLB Free Play for Friday: Reds at Cubs

Take the Chicago Cubs on the moneyline. The Cubs are starting to hit the ball a lot better averaging 5.4 rpg over their last seven games while hitting .266 as a team.

The Cubs opponents are hitting just .221 against them over their last seven games and I look for Randy Wells (5-4, 3.00) to have a strong outing against a team he pitched great against back on June 7. Wells allowed just seven hits and two earned runs over 6.7 innings in his last start against the Reds in Cincinnati.

The Reds pitching has been bad on the road this month with an ERA of 7.78 over 10 road games. Starter Aaron Harang (5-10, 4.17 ERA) has been hit hard over his last three starts with an ERA of 6.19 while lasting an average of just 5.3 innings per start.

The Reds are just 2-8 in Harang’s last 10 road starts as an underdog and they are just 1-7 in their last eight games in Game 1 of a series. The Reds are just 9-23 in their last 32 road games and the Cubs are a perfect 5-0 in Wells’ last five starts as a favorite.

Take the Chicago Cubs as my MLB free play for Friday afternoon.
