Reds vs Brewers Prediction 

Milwaukee heads into this game looking to grab their 13th win in a row, as they have scored at least seven runs in five straight games. The Brewers are 34-24 on the road this year, while the Reds are 35-27 at home. Cincinnati is also playing very well right now and they are starting Martinez, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four straight starts. The Brewers have not announced their starting pitcher, but they are definitely overdue for a loss. I like how Martinez is pitching right now and I will take the Reds to win at home.
