The Reds will be starting Frankie Montas, who has pitched great in his first two starts against Philadelphia and Washington. Milwaukee couldn’t match the offensive output of the Reds in game one, but they did beat up on Seattle over the weekend. Milwaukee has had very solid pitching to start the season and they are starting Joe Ross, who threw 3.2 shutout innings against Minnesota in his first start. Cincinnati is one of the most exciting teams to watch in the MLB and Montas has been great in his first two outings. Take the Reds here.
