Reds at Brewers picks and predictions
Prediction
Brewers 5, Reds 4
Moneyline
BET BREWERS (-102).
Milwaukee is the much hotter team, having won 5 straight and going 6-2 in its last 8 games while Cincinnati is 1-3 in its last 4 and 4-6 in its last 10. The Brewers have also won each of their last 4 matchups vs. the Reds, being 7-3 in the last 10 meetings.
Run line/Against the spread
PASS.
I like the Brewers to win, but the line is not worth the risk of betting on. Bet on the moneyline and/or total instead.
Over/Under
BET OVER 8.5 (-106).
The Over has hit in 2 of Milwaukee’s last 3 home games and is 7-3 in its last 10 overall. For Cincinnati, the Over is 5-1 in its last 5 on the road and 8-2 in its last 10 outings.
