Brewers vs Reds Prediction
The Brewers have won their last three meetings against the Reds and are 5-1 in their last 6 visits in Cincinnati.
In this Brewers vs Reds Prediction, the Brewers are coming as -160 road favorites. I like the under in this game, as both games in this series had been extremely low-scoring, with two and three total runs. The Brewers are going for a bullpen game and their bullpen ranks 8th in baseball this season, while Rhett Lowder has been decent at home for the Reds with a 3.22 ERA. The total is set at 9 runs and this feels too high, as I don’t expect 10 runs or more today. Take the under 9.
