The Chicago Cubs are looking to end the season on a positive note as they come into Cincinnati as winners of seven straight games, tied for the longest active streak in the bigs. Cincy, on the other hand, has been going in the other direction. The Reds have lost six straight and landed in a tie for last with the Pittsburgh Pirates in the NL Central.
Chicago has also won nine of their past ten, which includes a three-game sweep hosting the Reds this past weekend. The Cubbies outscored Cincinnati 16-3 in those three games holding the Reds to one run in each contest.
