Wrigley Field will have the wind blowing in on Tuesday with the Cincinnati Reds in town for a crucial matchup between a pair of National League playoff hopefuls. An over/under of 7.5 calls for elite pitching and cold bats. You can check out this NL Central matchup live on TBS at 8:05 pm ET. Let’s dive into my Reds vs Cubs Same Game Parlay picks at +305 odds at DraftKings Sportsbook, while you can find all our MLB picks for EVERY GAME today.

Reds vs Cubs Same Game Parlay odds: +305
Shota Imanaga (CHC) Over 6.5 Strikeouts (+200)
Shota Imanaga will have his shot at the Cincinnati Reds for the first time this season, and just the second time in his young career in the big leagues. After coming over from Japan and posting an excellent opening season last year, Imanaga has seen his progression falter. His K% has come down from 25% to 19%, but he’s still getting batters to chase at a 32% rate. That’s good enough to run his strikeout number against a Reds offense that is striking out at the 6th highest rate in baseball versus LHP since the All-Star break.

Chicago Cubs ML over Cincinnati Reds (-183)
The Reds stole Game 1 of a 3-game set on Monday. Both starters left early with injuries, so it’ll be up to Imanaga and Zack Littell to carry their respective staffs on Tuesday. Littell will be making his Reds debut against a star-studded lineup that has seen RHP well all season. With Nick Lodolo going down last night and rookie Chase Burns being scratched from his start on Saturday Night of the Speedway Classic, Littell has a lot of weight to carry. Give me the team with the pitching advantage and lineup at home on the money line.
