KEY GAME INFORMATION
CHICAGO CUBS: 2016: 103-58, won World Series
Manager: Joe Maddon (third season)
Who's new? OF Jon Jay, RHP Wade Davis, LHP Brett Anderson, RHP Koji Uehara, LHP Brian Duensing, RHP Eddie Butler
Who's gone? OF Dexter Fowler, IF/OF Jorge Soler, LHP Aroldis Chapman, LHP Travis Wood, RHP Trevor Cahill, RHP Jason Hammel
Projected lineup: LF Kyle Schwarber (.000, 0 HR, 0 RBI in two games), 3B Kris Bryant (.292, 39, 102), 1B Anthony Rizzo (.292, 32, 109), 2B Ben Zobrist (.272, 18, 76), SS Addison Russell (.238, 21, 95), RF Jason Heyward (.230, 7, 49, 11 SB), C Willson Contreras (.282, 12, 35), CF Jon Jay (.291, 2, 26 with Padres) or Albert Almora (.277, 3, 14 in 47 games)
Rotation: LH Jon Lester (19-5, 2.44 ERA), RH Jake Arrieta (18-8, 3.10), RH Kyle Hendricks (16-8, 2.13), RH John Lackey (11-8, 3.35), LH Brett Anderson (1-2, 11.91 in four games with Dodgers) or LH Mike Montgomery (4-5, 2.52 with Mariners and Cubs) or RH Eddie Butler (2-5, 7.17 with Rockies) or LH Rob Zastryzny (1-0, 1.13 ERA in eight games) or RH Alec Mills (0-0, 13.50 in three games with Royals)
Key relievers: RH Wade Davis (2-1, 1.87, 27/30 SV with Royals), RH Pedro Strop (2-2, 2.85), RH Hector Rondon (2-3, 3.53, 18/23 SV), RH Koji Uehara (2-3, 3.45, 7/9 SV with Red Sox), RH Carl Edwards Jr. (0-1, 3.75), RH Justin Grimm (2-1, 4.10), LH Brian Duensing (1-0, 4.05 with Royals)
Hot spots: Fifth Starter. Of all the candidates vying to replace Hammel, who signed with Kansas City as a free agent, most have plenty of upside but didn't log many innings last year. That includes Anderson, who had one productive season and one unproductive season for the Dodgers. Keep an eye on southpaw Montgomery, who tossed two shutouts as a starter for the Mariners in 2015, came to the Cubs last year in a midseason trade, then was effective as a reliever. Last time he was on the mound, he recorded the save in Game 7 of the World Series.
Outlook: There hasn't been a back-to-back champion this century. For opponents of the Cubs, that might be the most tangible nugget of hope. Most of the key players return from a powerhouse team that played historically good defense, got no fewer than 165 innings from each of its top five starters, and featured a deep lineup led by NL MVP Kris Bryant. In the bullpen, two-time All-Star Davis is capable of replacing closer Chapman if he's healthy. Among the Cubs' regular position players, only Zobrist and new center fielder Jay are over 30 ' everyone else is either entering or in the midst of his prime. This is a strong outlook.
CINCINNATI: 2016: 68-94, fifth place
Manager: Bryan Price (third season)
Who's new? RHP Scott Feldman, RHP Drew Storen, RHP Lisalverto Bonilla, OF Ryan Raburn, OF Desmond Jennings, IF/OF Arismendy Alcantara
Who's gone? 2B Brandon Phillips, C Ramon Cabrera, RHP Dan Straily, RHP Ross Ohlendorf, RHP Alfredo Simon, LHP John Lamb, RHP Josh Smith
Projected lineup: CF Billy Hamilton (.260, 3 HR, 17 RBI, 58 SB), SS Zack Cozart (.252, 16, 50), 1B Joey Votto (.326, 29, 97), LF Adam Duvall (.241, 33, 103), RF Scott Schebler (.265, 9, 40), 3B Eugenio Suarez (.248, 21, 70), C Devin Mesoraco (.140, 0, 1 in 16 games), 2B Jose Peraza (.324, 3, 25, 21 SB)
Rotation: RH Anthony DeSclafani (9-5, 3.28 ERA), RH Scott Feldman (7-4, 3.97 with Astros and Blue Jays), LH Brandon Finnegan (10-11, 3.98), RH Tim Adleman (4-4, 4.00), RH Robert Stephenson (2-3, 6.08) or Cody Reed (0-7, 7.36) or Amir Garrett (2-5, 3.46 for Triple-A Louisville)
Key relievers: RH Raisel Iglesias (3-2, 2.53, 6/8 SV), RH Drew Storen (3-0, 3.44 with Mariners), RH Michael Lorenzen (2-1, 2.88), LH Tony Cingrani (2-5, 4.14, 17/23 SV), RH Jumbo Diaz (1-1, 3.14), RH Blake Wood (6-5, 3.99) Hot spot: Rotation. The Reds' rebuilding effort is just beginning to bear fruit on the mound. DeSclafani, 26, made a big leap in his second full season in 2016. Finnegan, 23, will try to do the same this year. If the next wave of pitchers isn't ready for the major leagues, Stephenson, Reed, Garrett, Sal Romano and Rookie Davis would make a mean rotation at Triple-A. Meanwhile, 40-year-old Bronson Arroyo will try to hold down a job like it's 2004.
Outlook: After trading Phillips to the Braves, only Votto and pitcher Homer Bailey remain from the Reds' last season as a contending team. Cincinnati was basically a .500 team (36-37) after the All-Star break last season, so maybe a return to respectability isn't far off. Hamilton and infielder Jose Peraza, electric on the bases and in the field, have breakout potential. There might not be another star on the roster besides Votto, but that's OK for now. With no veterans blocking their best prospects, the Reds can use this season to figure out what their system holds.
PREVIEW
Streaking Cubs go for 5th straight vs. Reds
 

CINCINNATI -- The Chicago Cubs have displayed a flair for the dramatic this season, winning three straight games in which they trailed by three runs or more for the first time since 1929.

Manager Joe Maddon, however, would like to see them win in more conventional fashion. To do that, the Cubs need to get more consistent in every facet.

"It's about getting the method back in place," Maddon said. "What I mean by that is catch the ball consistently, run the bases well, pitch great at the end of the ballgame, get great starting pitching. We've shown that in bits and pieces. We haven't been consistent with our hitting. We haven't been consistent in the bullpen yet. I feel confident about it."

The Cubs (10-7), winners of four in a row, play the finale of a three-game series against the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park on Sunday afternoon.

Right-hander John Lackey will make his fourth start of the season on Sunday. In his last start, Lackey allowed four earned runs in six innings in a 6-3 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers, his second straight defeat. Lackey has been giving Chicago innings, however, pitching into the sixth in each of his first three outings. He's 5-4 with a 3.56 ERA in 13 career starts versus the Reds.

Cincinnati (9-9) will counter with 40-year-old right-hander Bronson Arroyo, who's coming off his most encouraging outing so far. Sunday will be Arroyo's fourth start since making his return to the big leagues after missing more than two seasons with elbow and shoulder injuries. Arroyo's victory on Tuesday was the first by a Reds pitcher age 40 or more since Boom-Boom Beck in 1945.

Arroyo has experienced an understandable drop in stamina and velocity after the two-year layoff. He's hoping to see continual progress with each start and made it clear that he'd be willing to move to the bullpen if he's not helping the team.

"This game's tough, man," Arroyo said of his last start. "I was efficient with my sinker and breaking ball. I want to give this team the best chance to win. That's what it's all about. This can't be ego-driven."

Arroyo will be making his 33rd appearance and 32nd start against the Cubs. He's 13-11 with a 3.06 ERA against them in 32 career appearances.

After winning the first two games of this series, the Cubs now have won 20 of their past 24 games versus Cincinnati and on Sunday will try to win their seventh series from the Reds in eight attempts.

Chicago hit 42 home runs against Cincinnati pitching in 2016, the most ever in a single season against the Reds. They went deep twice on Friday night and three more times on Saturday in a 12-8 win.

Things appear to be coming together for the defending World Series champions.

"Our formula is to grab the lead in the latter part of the game and have the bullpen do their job," said Maddon. "(Comebacks) are not going to continue to happen."
