MatchPlug Prediction For Chicago Cubs VS Cincinnati Reds
Experts back the Cincinnati Reds here. Also, Ashcraft could use a comeback after a spotty victory over the Dodgers in his last start. He delivered 5.1 innings with five earned on eight hits and a walk in that match. In his two starts before that, Ashcraft was 0-1 with six earned over 9.0 innings total.
Final Prediction: Cincinnati Reds Moneyline.
