Reds vs Brewers Prediction
Milwaukee was able to extend their winning streak with another win on Monday night and they have scored at least five runs in four of their last five games. The Brewers are 15-18 on the road this season, while the Reds are 14-15 at home. Cincinnati has dropped three games in a row and they have scored two runs or fewer in three of their last five. The Reds are starting Greene, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four straight starts. The Brewers are going with Peralta, who has allowed one earned run or fewer in three of his last five. This should be a very good pitching matchup, but Milwaukee is due for a loss and I think Greene will have a great day on the mound. Take the Reds to win.
