Cubs, Reds Tie Season Series Ahead Series Decider at Wrigley

The Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds continue their 2025 MLB season series with the Cubs holding a slight edge in games played so far. The Cubs maintain a strong home record and offensive production, particularly excelling in games where they hit multiple home runs, while the Reds hold a respectable pitching staff with a solid ERA and a good on-base percentage ranking in the National League. Key players for the Cubs include Seiya Suzuki and Kyle Tucker, who are performing well offensively, while the Reds rely on Elly De La Cruz and others contributing consistent power and run production. The Cubs have faced tough pitching matchups from Reds starters Andrew Abbott, Nick Lodolo, and Nick Martinez, with the latter showing especially strong form this season. Despite some offensive struggles from players like Ian Happ post-injury, the Cubs remain one of the top offenses in baseball, particularly against left-handed pitching. Both teams are aiming to improve their standings in the NL Central as the series progresses.
