Brewers 5, Reds 3
Moneyline
The Brewers have won 5 of their last 7 games and have now gotten their road record over .500 (16-15) with their 3 wins over the Reds in this series.

Cincinnati has lost 8 of their last 10 games at home and has lost 8 of their last 10 games against the Brewers.
BET BREWERS (+105).
Run line/Against the spread
The Reds are 34-25 ATS overall this season, but only 6-7 ATS when favored. They have lost the last 4 games outright in which they were favored on the run line.
The Brewers are 28-31 ATS overall and 16-13 ATS as the underdog. They have won 6 of their last 10 games outright in which they were the underdog on the run line.
But the moneyline is a better bet than the Brewers on the run line.
