Brewers vs Reds Prediction
I’m looking at the over in this spot. The Reds and Brewers have put up crooked numbers over the last week. Lowder has a 4.81 ERA and 1.47 WHIP through 58 innings, while Sproat has a 5.43 ERA and 1.35 WHIP through 69.2 frames. On the road through 30 innings, Lowder has a 6.00 ERA and a .248 allowed batting average. In 30.2 innings at home, Sproat has a 6.75 ERA and a .276 allowed batting average. Both lineups also saw these pitchers last week, so the comfort level factor should be high. I expect offense. Give me the over.
