Reds vs Brewers Prediction
The Brewers are 7-3 in their last 10 meetings against the Reds and are 4-1 in their last 5 meetings in Milwaukee.
In this Reds vs Brewers Prediction, the Brewers are coming as -185 home favorites. I like the Brewers to keep rolling in this one, after destroying the Reds by 20-0 yesterday. The Reds have lost four straight and have 34 earned runs in their last two games and are putting Singer on the mound, who has been terrible, with 3+ earned runs in each of his last nine starts and a 2-7 record and 5.67 ERA on the road. Kyle Harrison is coming off two bad outings but both were on the road. He has a 7-1 record and 1.26 ERA at home and I expect the Brewers to win this one comfortably and cover the runline.
