Travis Wood is very under rated, but he rolls into a very tough task on Monday playing the Reds who have overall great numbers vs lefties including 6.36 runs per 9 with 7.05 at home. His only road start in Cinci he gave up 6 ER in just 5 innings. On the flip side Mike Leake has been great vs. the Cubs where the Reds are 7-3 in his 10 starts in his career where he posts a 3.56 ERA. More importantly is he has a 2.12 ERA in his 4 home starts in his career.

Cubs right now are struggling to hit and on the road they are hitting just .199 vs. RHP with 2.75 runs per 9. Their bullpen on the road is 1.53 runs worse than the Reds at home. Travis Wood has not fared well vs the Reds line up in 43 AB they have a .302 average and a .938 OPS. Cubs are 5-17 in his last 22 starts as an under dog and the Reds are 36-16 in their last 52 meetings with the Cubs. I expect the Reds to take this game.
