Analyzing Recent Performances


The Reds' recent games have shown a mix of challenges and potential. With a batting average lingering around .138 in one of their past games and slightly improving to .194 in another, it's clear that hitting has been a struggle. Despite these challenges, there are glimmers of hope; the team managed to secure runs even with limited hits, indicating a resilience that could play in their favor against the Cubs.


Pitching appears to be a stronger suit for the Reds as evidenced by an ERA of 1.125 in one game and 5.625 in another. This variability shows that while there's room for improvement, the pitching staff has moments where they can truly shine and control the game's pace.
