Brewers vs Reds Prediction
You probably keep trying to convince yourself that the Reds are going to figure things out, and you’re probably right. The problem is, the Reds are burning a hole in your pocket and have scored a combined two runs in their last four games. The Reds have scored three or fewer runs in six of their last seven games. Until that offense picks up, it’s hard to take the Reds seriously. The Brewers are feeling good with four straight wins, and Rodriguez is a young pitcher who has shown flashes through 37 MLB innings. Rodriguez has strikeout stuff, and once he puts everything together, there’s potential there. No matter how you slice it, backing the Reds isn’t an option in their current form. Give me the Brewers at home.
