Analyzing their past performances, it's evident that the Reds have been on an upward trajectory. In one of their recent games against the Rockies, they displayed an impressive batting average of .439 and slugged .707, indicating their hitters are finding form at just the right time. Moreover, their ability to capitalize on run-scoring opportunities was highlighted by securing six hits out of eleven at-bats with runners in scoring position (RISP), emphasizing their clutch hitting.


Pitching has also played a crucial role in their recent successes. Despite some challenges, the bullpen managed to maintain a commendable earned run average (ERA) across various games, contributing significantly to limiting opponents' scoring opportunities. This balance between potent offense and steadfast pitching could be pivotal against the Cubs.
