Reds at Brewers picks and predictions
Prediction
Brewers 4, Reds 3
Moneyline
BET BREWERS (-135).
Cincinnati was held to just 1 run Saturday and faces Rea, who is coming off a dominant 7-inning, 3-hit start. He has allowed 1 ER or fewer in each of his last 3 starts, which does not bode well for a Reds team that has scored 4 runs or fewer in 6 of their last 7. The Reds will see Montas take the mound, who was pulled in the 2nd inning of his last start after allowing 4 ER.
Run line/Against the spread
PASS.
There is minimal value on the Brewers run line.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 9 (-105).
The Reds have hit the Under in 7 of their last 10, while the Brewers have failed to hit the Over in 6 of their last 10. The teams combined for just 9 hits and 4 runs in Saturday’s matchup. Expect another low-scoring affair Sunday.
