Season series: Brewers lead 3-1.

The sputtering-early Reds posted season highs in hits (14) and home runs (3) in Monday’s 10-5 series opener. Cincinnati is 3-1 over its last 4 games.

Run line/Against the spread

Look for Milwaukee to bounce back behind Peralta, a pitcher not as good as the 2.81 ERA posted a year ago but a significant bit better than the surface numbers logged so far in 2022.

Greene is a question mark who exposes the Cincinnati bullpen.

BACK THE BREWERS -1.5 (-130).

Over/Under

The Over hit Monday and has been dominant in recent-schedule trends for both sides.

However, Peralta and an overvalued Milwaukee offense make the UNDER 8.5 (-115) worth a line watch. In this, the year of 60’s-era offensive numbers where no club has an OPS north of .740 (a figure that ranked 20th in 2019), a near even priced 8.5 runs is worth shading on the underside.
