Milwaukee Brewers vs Cincinnati Reds Picks and Prediction
Milwaukee Brewers vs Cincinnati Reds Pick
- Pick: Milwaukee Brewers Moneyline
Milwaukee enters this game with advantages across most major statistical categories and already picked up a 2-1 extra-inning victory over Cincinnati earlier in the series. The Brewers have the better overall record, stronger road mark, and a significant edge in pitching statistics. The projected starting pitching matchup also favors Milwaukee, making the Brewers the preferred side.
Milwaukee Brewers vs Cincinnati Reds Total Pick
- Take the under if the total is set at 8.5.
I would lean toward the under if the number is set at 8.5. Milwaukee owns a 3.40 team ERA and allows opponents to hit just .221. The Brewers also won the most recent meeting by a 2-1 score. While Cincinnati has shown home run power throughout the season, Milwaukee's pitching profile suggests a lower-scoring contest is the more likely outcome.
Final Score Prediction: Milwaukee Brewers 5 – Cincinnati Reds 3
