Milwaukee Brewers vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction
Hunter Greene shows flashes of brilliance at times, but he also has issues with his control and when he’s hit, he’s hit hard. Greene has also been rocked by the Brewers in his short career. Freddy Peralta has had his ups and downs this season as well, but his larger sample size is easier to trust, and he’s owned the Reds for much of his career. At home and more consistent as a team overall, you can do a lot worse than the Brewers and the cheap price.
