What happened: The Cincinnati Reds have lined up right-hander Chase Burns to start the finale of their current series. The team announced Burns as the probable for the series-closing game.

Why it matters: Burns has emerged as a stabilizing presence in the Reds' rotation, and drawing the finale puts him in position to swing the series result. A strong outing would give Cincinnati momentum heading into its next set.

By the numbers: Coming in, Chase Burns had not allowed more than two earned runs in a start since April 10, underscoring the consistency he brings to the finale. No other recent data.

What to watch: Watch how deep Burns works and whether the Reds can back him with run support to take the series.
