Reds vs Brewers Prediction
The Brewers haven’t lost a game since July 30, so they’re just a team you blindly back until the tickets stop cashing. It’s that simple. The Brewers haven’t lost a game with Priester on the mound since May 24. Littell has been solid this season, but it doesn’t matter much. I’m not stepping in front of the Brewers and this ridiculous stretch. Give me the Brewers.
