The Cincinnati Reds are heading to Wrigleyville for a Thursday night showdown that starts at 7:40 p.m. ET, where the wind off Lake Michigan will be blowing hard and the Cubs' home crowd will be ready to pounce on any misstep. It's a setting that promises as much drama as a Cubs-Pirates game on a Sunday afternoon in October. With no probable pitchers listed yet, we're all left to wonder which arms will take the mound and try to tame the opposing lineup.
The injury reports are as clean as a Justin Bieber music video, so we can expect both teams to be at full strength - or at least as close to it as they'll get. The Cubs will be defending their home turf, while the Reds will try to pull off a win without too much embarrassment. Will the Cubs' bats heat up, or will the Reds' pitching finally find its groove?
