The Reds have faced a ton of lefties lately (six of their last eight games), and they really hate facing lefties: 86 wRC+ (3rd worst in MLB). Unfortunately for them, they’ll get another one today in Justin Steele, who actually just made the best start of his Cubs career against the Twins.
And if the Cubs win today, they’ll set a new season-high winning streak (7). Isn’t that something?
