3 of 4 would be a giant confidence boost for the rest of the season.

This series against the Cubs will expose the Reds' pitching staff for the are.  It will be the Reds elite.  It will also expose how well the Reds would compete against others if they were to make the playoffs.  On paper, and prior stats would suggest the Reds have a top starting rotation.  Nevertheless, Bauer is still fitting in, and Wood is relatively "green" in terms of playing time.  

My hope is that Bauer brings the mental attitude of a winner and helps this young staff show some balls.    Sorry for all the puns...
