The Cubs come into this series game with a record of 88-66, enjoying a solid season, while the Reds stand at 78-76, having an average year. The last time these teams met, the Reds were outperformed, but they have the home-field advantage in this crucial third game of the series.<\/p>\n<p>The projections suggest that Zack Littell, with a 9-8 record and a respectable <a href=\"https:\/\/evanalytics.com\/mlb\/player-stats\/earned-run-average\">3.86<\/a> ERA, is set to face Javier Assad, who has struggled somewhat this season with a <a href=\"https:\/\/evanalytics.com\/mlb\/player-stats\/earned-run-average\">4.23<\/a> ERA. Littell\u2019s underlying metrics indicate he&#8217;s been fortunate this season, and he\u2019ll need to avoid the mistakes that have plagued him, particularly as he projects to allow an average of 3.1 earned runs today. Conversely, Assad has only started five games this year, and while he has a decent win-loss record, he is considered one of the worst pitchers in MLB according to advanced statistics.<\/p>\n<p>Offensively, the Cubs rank 10th in MLB, showcasing a potent lineup that has been productive with a strong home run rate\u20148th overall in that category. Meanwhile, the Reds&#8217; offense ranks 19th in MLB, struggling particularly with power as they sit at 24th in home runs. This disparity could prove critical, especially with both teams projected to score 4.5 runs. <\/p>\n<p>Bettors may find the Reds&#8217; strong bullpen, ranked 8th in MLB, can provide a late-game edge, but they\u2019ll need Littell to step up against a high-walk Cubs offense. With the stakes high and both teams eyeing a crucial win, this matchup promises to be an intriguing battle as the postseason approaches.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin: 3rem 0 0 0;\">Chicago Cubs Insights<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div style=\"display: block;
