Cincinnati Reds vs Milwaukee Brewers 9/25/22 MLB Picks, Predictions, Odds

The Milwaukee Brewers and Cincinnati Reds meet Sunday in MLB action at Great American Ball Park. The Milwaukee Brewers look to build on their 4-game winning streak. The Cincinnati Reds need a win after losing 7 of their last 9 games. 

The Milwaukee Brewers have scored 20 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 5 straight games. The Brewers have won 6 of their last 8 games when scoring 4 or more runs. Christian Yelich leads the Brewers with 139 hits and 53 RBI, while Willy Adames and Andrew McCutchen have combined for 246 hits and 165 RBI. Freddy Peralta gets the ball, and he is 4-3 with a 3.45 ERA and 76 strikeouts this season. Peralta is 4-2 with a 3.52 ERA and 80 strikeouts in his career against the Reds.

The Cincinnati Reds have scored 6 runs in their last 3 games and 3 or fewer runs in 7 of their last 8 games. The Reds have lost 7 of their last 9 games when scoring 3 or fewer runs. Kyle Farmer leads the Reds with 126 hits and 73 RBI, while Jonathan India and Nick Senzel have combined for 176 hits and 64 RBI. Nick Lodolo gets the ball, and he is 4-7 with a 3.90 ERA and 120 strikeouts this season. Lodolo is 1-0 with a 3.55 ERA and 15 strikeouts in his career against the Brewers.

The Brewers are 5-2 in their last 7 games vs. a left-handed starter and 5-1 in their last 6 vs. National League Central. The Reds are 10-3 in their last 13 Sunday games and 3-12 in their last 15 overall. The under is 3-1-1 in Brewers last 5 road games. The under is 7-0 in Reds last 7 overall. The Brewers are 23-9 in the last 32 meetings in Cincinnati.

Nick Lodolo has been solid this season, especially at home, where he has a 2.98 ERA and .247 allowed batting average. However, the Reds just can’t get out of their own way, and it makes it hard to back them. The Milwaukee Brewers need to keep winning to stay in the playoff race, and Freddy Peralta has allowed just 8 runs in his last 31.2 innings. Give me the Brewers and the reasonable price.
