Reds vs Brewers Prediction
The Brewers have won their last four meetings against the Reds but have lost two of their last three meetings in Milwaukee.
In this Reds vs Brewers Prediction, the Brewers are coming as -155 home favorites. I like the Brewers in this one, as I am not willing to back Nick Lodolo especially on the road, as he has been shaky at best this season. Gasser has been very good at home with a 3.00 ERA and the Brewers have both a better offense and a better bullpen, so I like them in a bounce-back spot today, after losing back-to-back games to the Cubs. Take the Brewers to win.
