The Chicago Cubs are really bad.
After selling off a handful of key players at the trade deadline, the Northsiders have been downright awful over the last few weeks.
The Cubs have lost 11 straight games and with a date with the 64-55 Reds looming on Monday, Chicago is a big +180 underdog against Cincinnati.
