ndiana Baseball started the week by going on the road to Louisville and claiming another midweek win to finish the season an impressive 9-2 in those contests. The Hoosiers got a fantastic 5-inning scoreless start from graduate lefty Conner Linn, and the offense put up 5 runs in the third on the way to a 10-6 victory. The Hoosiers got a special treat in being the team that got to play Northwestern in the annal game at Wrigley Field in Chicago. Our own Zach and Josh Bennett were on hand for that one. The Hoosiers put on a show for the mostly IU friendly crowd. Tony Neubeck tossed six scoreless frames. The top of the Hoosier order Hogan Denny, Jake Hanley, and Owen ten Oever, combined to reach base nine times. The Hoosiers dominated the game for a 9-2 win. The series shifted to suburb of Evanston on Saturday and things did not go well for the Hoosiers. At least three critical base running mistakes kept the Hoosiers from extending an early lead. Starter Brayton Thomas was excellent through two innings, but lost command in the third inning and never returned to form. He was replaced in the fourth and Indiana would give up seven runs total. Despite a 4-for-4 day from Hogan Denny and Indiana doubling Northwestern's hit total, the Hoosiers dropped the game 7-4. In the Sunday rubber match it was the early game pitching that faltered as Conner Linn was not effective on short rest and Northwestern rocked bullpen ace Gavin Seebold in the 2nd inning. Seebold would settle in and get the Hoosiers through the fifth, but the deficit proved too much and the Hoosiers dropped the series with a 9-6 loss.

The Cubs sit atop the division, riding a 12-game home winning streak — the longest at Wrigley since 1935 — and have won 15 of their last 18 games overall. The Reds, battling in third place, dropped the series opener 5-4 on Monday in a heartbreaker featuring a Michael Conforto walk-off homer. Pitching Matchup: Andrew Abbott (Reds) vs. Jameson Taillon (Cubs) Left-hander Andrew Abbott (1-2, 5.97 ERA, 1.67 WHIP) starts for Cincinnati. The 26-year-old has shown flashes but struggles with consistency, allowing too many hard-hit balls and baserunners. He posted a decent outing against Colorado recently (2 runs in 6 IP) but faces a Cubs lineup that ranks among the league’s better offenses. Right-hander Jameson Taillon (2-1, 4.41 ERA, 1.15 WHIP) counters for Chicago. Taillon provides steady innings and has kept the ball in the yard better lately, though he has surrendered at least one homer in five straight starts. His lower walk rate gives the Cubs an edge in limiting free passes. The betting line favors the Cubs at home (-164) with the over/under set at 8 runs, reflecting Wrigley’s hitter-friendly conditions and both teams’ offensive potential. Team Strengths and Key Players The Cubs boast one of the NL’s top offenses, averaging over 5 runs per game. Standouts include Ian Happ (strong history vs. Reds), Seiya Suzuki (power and consistency), Pete Crow-Armstrong (speed, defense, and rising star potential), Michael Busch, and new addition Alex Bregman at third base, bolstering an already solid infield. Chicago’s recent hot streak highlights their depth and clutch hitting. The Reds counter with dynamic talent led by Elly De La Cruz (speed and power), Tyler Stephenson (elite hard-hit and plate discipline metrics), and contributors like Spencer Steer and JJ Bleday. Cincinnati has shown fight, winning close games (7-2 in one-run contests), but their pitching staff has been inconsistent, posting a higher team ERA. Recent Form and Context Chicago extended their home dominance with Monday’s comeback win, powered by Suzuki’s massive three-run homer. The Cubs lead the Reds by three games in the division and aim to pull away early in the season. Cincinnati enters on a mini skid but remains competitive, boasting a solid road record (10-7) and young upside. Wrigley Field’s atmosphere should be electric for this intradivision battle. Factors like wind, bullpen usage (both teams leaned on relievers Monday), and timely hitting will decide the outcome. The Cubs’ home momentum and pitching edge make them favorites, but the Reds’ athleticism — particularly on the bases and with power threats — keeps this matchup dangerous. Prediction and Outlook Expect an offensive showcase. The Cubs’ lineup depth and home cooking suggest a narrow victory, perhaps 5-4 or 6-3, pushing their home winning streak to 13 games. The Reds have the talent to steal a game if Abbott can limit damage early and their speed creates chaos on the bases. This series carries early-season weight in the NL Central. A Cubs win would widen the gap and reinforce their status as division frontrunners, while a Reds victory would tighten the race and validate Cincinnati’s contention hopes. With strong lineups on both sides and Wrigley’s unpredictable elements, fans should be treated to an entertaining night of baseball.
