The New York Yankees (18-10) and Milwaukee Brewers (17-9) wrap up a 3-game series Sunday at American Family Field. First pitch is scheduled for 2:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Yankees vs. Brewers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Tied 1-1

The Brewers have allowed 26 runs in the past 3 games, although they only lost Saturday’s blowout against the Yankees. The Over is on a 3-0 run, as Milwaukee is good for 5.7 runs per game (RPG) in the past 3 outings while allowing 8.7 RPG.

Yankees at Brewers projected starters

RHP Marcus Stroman vs. RHP Tobias Myers

Stroman (2-1, 2.93 ERA) makes his 6th start. He has a 1.23 WHIP, 3.3 BB/9 and 9.1 K/9 in 27 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: Win, 5 1/3 IP, 3 ER, 7 H, 1 BB, 9 K in 4-3 home victory vs. Oakland Athletics Tuesday

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Yankees at Brewers picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 5, Brewers 4

Moneyline

The YANKEES (-140) are worth a look as moderate favorites in the interleague series finale.

New York pounded the Brewers (+115) in Saturday’s outing, and it has won 6 of the past 10 outings. The offense has been sink or swim lately, going for 5 or more runs in 6 of the past 10 outings, but it has 1 or no runs in 3 of those games, too.

Run line/Against the spread

The Brewers +1.5 (-145) aren’t a terrible play if you’d like a little bit of insurance and don’t like Milwaukee straight up. However, the only drawback is Myers. He is a bit of a wild card, as this is his first-ever home start and just his second career outing in the show. Facing the Yankees could be a mess, especially after they rolled up 15 runs Saturday.

AVOID, and just focus on the moneyline.

Over/Under

OVER 8.5 (-110) is the lean, but only play a half-unit at most.

The Over cashed in the first 2 games of the series, with an average of 15.5 RPG. Even if we have substantially fewer runs, the way things have gone, we shouldn’t have trouble getting to 9 combined runs.

The Over has hit in 3 in a row for Milwaukee, with 12 or more runs in each of the outings.

New York Yankees at Milwaukee Brewers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s New York Yankees at Milwaukee Brewers odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The New York Yankees (17-10) and Milwaukee Brewers (17-8) play the 2nd game of a 3-game series at American Family Field Saturday. First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Yankees vs. Brewers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Brewers lead 1-0

The Yankees, who were -134 favorites, lost 7-6 in the series opener Friday with the Over (9) hitting in Milwaukee. New York has lost 2 straight for the 1st time since a 3-game skid from April 14-16.

Four runs were driven in by 3B Joey Ortiz of the Brewers, who cashed as +124 underdogs. He walked it off with an RBI single in the 11th to give Milwaukee its 3rd straight win.

Yankees at Brewers projected starters

LHP Carlos Rodón vs. RHP Joe Ross

Rodón (1-1, 2.70 ERA) makes his 6th start. He has a 1.35 WHIP, 4.4 BB/9 and 7.4 K/9 in 26 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: No-decision, 7 IP, 0 ER, 1 H, 2 BB, 4 K in 2-0 home loss vs. Oakland A’s Monday
  • Career vs. Brewers: 0-1, 3.27 ERA (11 IP, 4 ER), 1.82 WHIP in 3 starts

Ross (1-2, 4.05 ERA) makes his 5th start. He has a 1.55 WHIP, 4.1 BB/9 and 8.1 K/9 in 20 innings.

  • Last start: Loss, 5 1/3 IP, 2 R (1 ER), 6 H, 1 BB, 4 K in 4-2 loss at Pittsburgh Pirates Monday
  • Career vs. Yankees: 0-0, 3.60 ERA (5 IP, 2 ER), 3 H, 5 BB, 7 K in 1 start, a 3-2 road loss with Washington Nationals May 9, 2021

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Yankees at Brewers picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 4, Brewers 3

Moneyline

While I like the Yankees to bounce back after losing 2 straight games, I’m more confident in Rodón’s ability to limit the Brewers offense in the 1st 5 innings. He hasn’t allowed more than 3 runs in a start this season and pitched 7 scoreless innings last time out.

BET YANKEES FIRST 5 INNINGS (-120).

Run line/Against the spread

Taking the Yankees to win by multiple runs after back-to-back losses seems a little aggressive, and Brewers +1.5 is too expensive at -165.

PASS. Bet New York in the 1st 5 innings and/or the total instead.

Over/Under

If Rodón picks up where he left off against the A’s, then it’s unlikely that the Brewers will score more than 3 runs. Add in the fact that the Yankees have scored 4 or fewer in 6 of their last 11 games, and we have a decent shot at seeing fewer than 8.5 runs Saturday.

BET UNDER 8.5 (-105).

New York Yankees at Milwaukee Brewers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s New York Yankees at Milwaukee Brewers odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The New York Yankees (17-9) take on the Milwaukee Brewers (16-8) Friday in the opener of a 3-game set at American Family Field at 8:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Yankees vs. Brewers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Brewers won 2-1 last year

The Yanks dropped Thursday’s tilt 3-1 at home against the Oakland Athletics. They split the 4-game series and scored 1 total run in the 2 losses. The Yankees are 5-5 over their last 10 games. OF Aaron Judge has yet to find his stroke, hitting just .186 with 4 HRs and 13 RBIs.

The Brew Crew took the final 2 of a 4-game series in Pittsburgh. They won 7-5 Thursday and sit atop the NL Central. C William Contreras is tearing the cover off the ball, hitting .365 with 5 HRs and 22 RBIs.

Yankees at Brewers projected starters

RHP Luis Gil vs. RHP Colin Rea

Gil (1-1, 2.75 ERA) makes his 5th start. He has a 1.27 WHIP, 7.8 BB/9 and 13.3 K/9 in 19 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 5 2/3 IP, 0 ER, 2 H, 3 BB, 9 K Sunday against Tampa Bay Rays
  • Has never faced Milwaukee
  • Leads the league with 17 BB

Rea (2-0, 2.08 ERA) makes his 5th start. He has a 1.29 WHIP, 2.5 BB/9 and 5.8 K/9 in 21 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: No-decision, 5 IP, 0 ER, 5 H, 3 BB, 3 K Sunday against St. Louis Cardinals
  • 2 career starts vs. Yankees: 1-0, 2.53 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, 11 K in 10 2/3 IP

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Yankees at Brewers picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 6, Brewers 3

Moneyline

We have a clash between 2 very different pitchers. Gil, who has walked the ballpark, touches 97 on his fastball. He has a 2.94 FIP, which is fielding independent pitching and measures a pitcher’s ability to prevent homers, free passes and create strikeouts.

Rea will consistently be around 92, and despite having a 2.08 ERA, his FIP is 4.02. I look for the Yankees to jump on Rea. His 2.53 ERA against the Yanks looks great, but one start was in 2016.

Take the YANKEES -125.

Run line/Against the spread

The Brewers scored 7 runs Thursday, but they scored just 8 runs in the previous 4 games. While the Yankees are inconsistent offensively, they have plated 4+ runs in 6 of 10 games.

Take the YANKEES -1.5 (+135).

Over/Under

Rain is expected, which means the roof should be closed. Each team is 4-6 O/U over the last 10 games. In 3 games in this park in late 2022, we had totals of 20, 5 and 13.

I’ll take the OVER 8.5 (-115).

Milwaukee Brewers at Pittsburgh Pirates odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Milwaukee Brewers at Pittsburgh Pirates odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Milwaukee Brewers (15-8) and Pittsburgh Pirates (13-12) meet for the finale of a 4-game series on Thursday. First pitch from PNC Park is slated for 12:35 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook‘s lines around the Brewers vs. Pirates odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Pirates lead 2-1

Milwaukee lost the 1st two games of this series (4-2 and 2-1) and then rebounded with a 3-2 triumph Wednesday. The Brewers are 5-2 across their last 7 games despite scoring 3 runs or less 6 times.

The Pirate offense has a similar stretch going: Pittsburgh has scored 2 runs or less in 7 of its last 8 games.

Brewers at Pirates projected starters

RHP Freddy Peralta vs. RHP Mitch Keller

Peralta (2-0, 1.90 ERA) is lined up for his 5th start. He has registered a 0.76 WHIP, 1.5 BB/9 and 12.6 K/9 in 23 2/3 IP.

  • Last outing: No-decision, 6 IP, 0 ER, 4 H, 2 BB, 7 K in 2-1 win at St. Louis Cardinals Friday
  • Career vs. Pirates: 2-1, 3.18 ERA (73 2/3 IP, 26 ER), 52 H, 24 BB, 86 K
  • Owns a 3.75 ERA across 150 career games

Keller (2-2, 4.80 ERA) is tabbed for his 6th start. He owns a 1.47 WHIP, 3.3 BB/9 and 7.5 K/9 in 30 IP.

  • Last outing: Loss, 6 IP, 4 ER, 5 H, 4 BB, 4 K in 4-2 loss vs. Boston Red Sox Saturday
  • Career vs. Brewers: 0-4, 6.23 ERA (30 1/3 IP, 21 ER), 36 H, 11 BB, 33 K

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Brewers at Pirates picks and predictions

Prediction

Pirates 5, Brewers 4

Moneyline

PITTSBURGH (+102) is 5-2 across the last 7 series meetings.

Surface ERA numbers on both sides starters and bullpens diverge from expected figures in opposite ways, pointing to some value on the Pittsburgh side. And the career Peralta numbers against the Pirates are deceiving: per ESPN, current Pittsburgh bats own an aggregate .878 OPS against the veteran righty.

Keller owns a PNC ERA of 3.78 since 2022.

Peg the Pirates as a solid value in this matinee series finale. BACK THE PIRATES (+102).

Run line/Against the spread

PASS: Better value on the ML.

Over/Under

The Over has been a lean all week but has so far gone 0-3. The Over 7 (-112) is just a slight lean in this one: the strongest play is the Pittsburgh ML side.

Milwaukee Brewers at Pittsburgh Pirates odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Milwaukee Brewers at Pittsburgh Pirates odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Milwaukee Brewers (14-8) and Pittsburgh Pirates (13-11) meet Wednesday in the 3rd contest of a 4-game series. First pitch from PNC Park is slated for 6:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook‘s lines around the Brewers vs. Pirates odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Pirates lead 2-0

In Monday’s series opener, the Brewers put just 3 runners in scoring position in a 4-2 loss. On Tuesday, they managed just 3 hits. Milwaukee has filed 4 runs or fewer in 7 of its last 8 games.

Pittsburgh snapped a 6-game losing streak with Monday’s victory. Its offense has also been slowed of late: the Pirates have the same 7-of-8 stretch when it comes to plating 3 runs.

Brewers at Pirates projected starters

RHP Bryse Wilson vs. LHP Josh Fleming

Wilson (2-0, 3.29 ERA) makes his 2nd start of the season. He has registered a 0.88 WHIP, 1.3 BB/9 and 7.9 K/9 in 13 2/3 innings.

  • Made his last appearance Saturday, going 1 1/3 innings in relief; made his lone start this season April 17
  • Career vs. Pirates: 2-0, 2.40 ERA (15 IP, 4 ER), 15 H, 5 BB, 13 K in 2 starts and 3 relief appearances

Fleming (1-0, 1.74) is a member of the Pittsburgh bullpen being called on as an opener. He has logged a 1.06 WHIP, 2.6 BB/9 and 6.1 K/9 in 10 1/3 innings.

  • Making his 1st start of the 2024 season; owns a 6.10 ERA over 22 career starts (vs. a 3.57 ERA as a reliever)
  • Last pitched Sunday, going 1 inning in relief
  • Has never faced Brewers before

Brewers at Pirates picks and predictions

Prediction

Pirates 6, Brewers 4

Moneyline

PITTSBURGH (-120) is 5-1 across the last 6 series meetings.

This one is in the hands of the bullpens. Milwaukee’s (+102) 3.00 surface ERA ranks 7th in MLB; the Pirates’ 4.37 ERA ranks 21st. But the expected-ERA numbers, accounting for quality of contact, are very similar.

Peg the Buccaneers as being undervalued.

BACK THE PIRATES (-120).

Run line/Against the spread

PASS: better value on the ML.

Over/Under

The Over has been a lean all week but has so far gone 0-2. There are some clutch failings of late which are tamping down the batting numbers on both sides. The Pirates are 5 for their last 44 (.114) with runners in scoring position; the Brewers are 0 for 7 in this series.

A pitcher’s breeze is in Wednesday’s forecast, but the OVER 9 (-110) is still a lean.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Milwaukee Brewers (14-7) and Pittsburgh Pirates (12-11) meet Tuesday for the 2nd game a 4-game series. First pitch from PNC Park is set for 6:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook‘s lines around the Brewers vs. Pirates odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Pirates lead 1-0

The Brewers put just 3 runners in scoring position in a 4-2 loss in Monday’s series lid-lifter. The loss snapped a 4-game winning streak.

Pittsburgh snapped a 6-game losing streak with Monday’s victory. The Bucs’ 4 runs Monday marked their most in a single game since April 14.

Brewers at Pirates projected starters

Undecided vs. LHP Bailey Falter 

Today’s slot was ticketed for LHP Wade Miley, who recently went on the 15-day IL with an elbow issue. RHP Tobias Myers is a possibility for making this start. Myers is a 25-year-old who would be making his major-league debut.

Falter (1-1, 4.05 ERA) makes his 5th start. He has registered a 0.95 WHIP, 2.3 BB/9 and 4.5 K/9 in 20 innings.

  • Last start: Loss, 5 IP, 2 ER, 4 H, 1 BB, 4 K in 9-1 loss at New York Mets Wednesday
  • Career vs. Brewers: 0-0, 1.17 ERA (7 2/3 IP, 1 ER), 7 H, 1 BB, 5 K in 1 start and 1 relief appearance

Prediction

Pirates 5, Brewers 4

Moneyline

PITTSBURGH (-110) is 4-1 across the last 5 series meetings.

Milwaukee (-106) has scored 2 runs or fewer in 4 of its last 5 games. If Myers is tabbed for the start, that’s a hurler who owns a 5.63 ERA over his last 56 minor-league games.

Figure on the bullpens being much involved in this one and that the Pittsburgh side of that equation, while being the lesser unit, offers some hidden value.

BACK THE PIRATES (-110).

Run line/Against the spread

PASS: better value on the ML.

Over/Under

The total has gone Over in 10 of Milwaukee’s last 14 games. The total has gone Over in 8 of the Brewers’ last 10 games when playing on the road at Pittsburgh.

Strength-of-schedule wise, both clubs have faced tougher-than-average pitching. The Over is the likable side here. Consider a partial-unit play on the OVER 8.5 (-105) and a fully-vested play if the price gets to even money.

Milwaukee Brewers at Pittsburgh Pirates odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Milwaukee Brewers at Pittsburgh Pirates odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Milwaukee Brewers (14-6) and Pittsburgh Pirates (11-11) open a 4-game series in Western Pennsylvania with 1st pitch in Monday’s lid-lifter set for 6:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Brewers vs. Pirates odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Milwaukee won last year’s series 8-5

The Brewers head to Pittsburgh fresh off a 3-game sweep at the St. Louis Cardinals. Despite ranking 2nd in the league in scoring (5.89 runs per game), Milwaukee has scored 2 runs or less in 3 of its last 4 games. The Brewers won all 3 of those low-output contests and tote a 4-game win streak into this series.

Pittsburgh has also filed some low-scoring games of late, but the Pirates have been losing them. The Pirates lost 3 in a row to the Boston Red Sox over the weekend, plating just 4 runs along the way. Pittsburgh has scored just 1.50 RPH in going 0-6 since April 15.

Brewers at Pirates projected starters

RHP Joe Ross vs. RHP Jared Jones

Ross (1-1, 4.91 ERA) makes his 4th start. He has a 1.64 WHIP, 4.9 BB/9 and 8.6 K/9 in 14 2/3 IP.

  • Last outing: Loss, 4 2/3 IP, 6 ER, 9 H, 2 BB, 4 K in 7-3 loss vs. San Diego Padres last Monday
  • Career vs. Pirates: 1-1, 2.33 ERA (19 1/3 IP, 5 ER), 19 H, 3 BB, 24 K in 4 starts

Jones (1-2, 3.13 ERA) is tabbed for his 4th start. He owns a 0.78 WHIP, 0.8 BB/9 and 12.5 K/9 in 23 IP.

  • Last outing: No-decision, 5 IP, 0 ER, 1 H, 0 BB, 7 K in 3-1 loss at New York Mets Tuesday
  • The 22-year-old rookie is facing the Brewers for the 1st time
  • Has not filed a walk since his March 30 MLB debut and has posted 14-or-more swinging strikes in each start

Brewers at Pirates picks and predictions

Prediction

Pirates 5, Brewers 4

Moneyline

Pittsburgh is 3-1 across the last 4 series meetings.

Pitching is the great equalizer, but streaks losing streaks are often tough to get into going against the grain.

Figure the PIRATES -130 being a small-value play; consider a partial unit for this wager.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS: Better value on the ML.

Over/Under

The total has gone Over in 10 of Milwaukee’s last 13 games. The total has gone Over in 8 of the Brewers’ last 9 games when playing on the road at Pittsburgh.

Strength-of-schedule-wise, both clubs have faced tougher-than-average pitching.

Of late, the Pittsburgh offense has been hemmed in by poor clutch hitting performances. The Milwaukee bullpen has posted good early-season numbers but has been helped along by a .237 batting average on balls in play.

The weather forecast calls for an outward-blowing breeze, and there is moderate value on the OVER 7.5 (-118); that’s a price available on FanDuel Sportsbook.

After a rain delay for about an hour and a half, the Brewers came out hot and won 7-2 Thursday. They have won 2 straight and scored at least 8 runs in all 3 games against Cincinnati. Milwaukee is 5-1 straight up on the road and 7-4 against the spread (ATS) on the season. It has won 3 of its last 4.

  • Moneyline (ML): Brewers -126 (bet $126 to win $100) | Reds +108 (bet $100 to win $108)
  • Run line (RL)/Against the spread (ATS): Brewers -1.5 (+126) | Reds +1.5 (-152)

Brewers at Reds picks and predictions

Prediction

Brewers 6, Reds 3

Moneyline

BET BREWERS (-126).

Milwaukee has historically been a tough team for Cincinnati, winning 10 of 13 games last season against a solid Reds roster. The Brewers have continued to dominate, scoring at least 7 runs in all 3 games. They have scored at least 6 in 5 of their last 6.

Milwaukee is 2-0 in games which Peralta has started as well. After winning 4 of their 1st 6, the Reds have lost 4 of their last 6 and have allowed at least 5 runs in both games that Martinez has started. Cincinnati is struggling, while Milwaukee is surging.

Back BREWERS (-126).

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

The spread for the red-hot Brewers does have some value, but at these odds, the moneyline is the better the play.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 8.5 (-122).

Both teams have hit the Over consistently this season. The Reds are 9-3 O/U and have gone Over in 4 of their last 5 games, scoring at least 5 runs in 3 of those and allowing at least 6 in 4.

The Brewers have gone Over in 4 straight and in 6 of their last 7, allowing at least 5 in 4 of their last 6. The Reds are 2-0 O/U in games Martinez has started, while the Brewers are 1-1 in games Peralta has started.

Considering those trends, back OVER 8.5 (-122).

Milwaukee Brewers at Cincinnati Reds odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Milwaukee Brewers at Cincinnati Reds odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Milwaukee Brewers (7-3) and Cincinnati Reds (6-5) meet for game 3 of a 4-game series Wednesday. First pitch from Great American Ball Park is set for 6:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Brewers vs. Reds odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Tied 1-1

Milwaukee picked up a 9-5 win Tuesday as a +118 road underdog to even the series. RHP Joe Ross was credited with the win, allowing 2 earned runs on 5 hits and a walk, while striking out 7 in 6 1/3 innings. LF Christian Yelich (2-for-4) and CF Black Perkins (3-for-5, 2 runs) knocked in 3 runs apiece, while RF Sal Frelick went 3-for-4 with 2 runs and an RBI.

The Brewers led 9-1 after 6½ innings before the Reds plated 2 in the 7th and 2 in the 8th to cut the defice to 9-5. But Milwaukee’s lead proved to be too much for the Reds to overcome late in the ball game.

Brewers at Reds projected starters

LHP Wade Miley vs. RHP Hunter Greene

This will be Miley’s 1st start of the season. The former Red went 9-4 with a 3.14 ERA in 23 starts for the Brewers in 2023. He had a 1.14 WHIP, 2.8 BB/9 and 5.9 K/9 across 120 1/3 IP.

  • 2023 road splits: 4-2, 2.65 ERA (54 1/3 IP, 16 ER), 40 H, 18 BB, 37 K in 11 starts
  • Career vs. Reds: 7-3, 2.86 ERA (78 2/3 IP, 25 ER), 67 H, 24 BB, 75 K across 13 starts and 1 relief appearance

Greene (0-0, 2.53 ERA) makes his 3rd start this season. He has a 1.22 WHIP, 4.2 BB/9 and 11.0 K/9 in 10 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: No-decision, 6 IP, 1 ER, 3 H, 1 BB, 6 K in a 3-2 Reds loss vs. the New York Mets Friday
  • Career vs. Brewers: 0-3, 8.00 ERA (18 IP, 16 ER), 19 H, 10 BB, 27 K in 4 starts

  • Run line (RL)/Against the spread (ATS): Brewers +1.5 (-182) | Reds -1.5 (+150)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Brewers at Reds picks and predictions

Prediction

Brewers 6, Reds 4

Moneyline

BET BREWERS (+116).

Milwaukee has won 2 of its last 3 games vs. Cincinnati dating back to last season and is 6-3 in the last 9 vs. the Reds. They are also 7-2 in their last 9 visits to Cincinnati. Plus, they are 2-1 in its last 3 games overall and 4-1 on the road so far this season.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

I expect the Brewers +1.5 (-182) to cover here, but they are not worth the risk of betting on with the line being this heavy. Bet on the moneyline and/or the Over/Under.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 9 (-108).

The Over has hit in 3 consecutive games for the Brewers and is 5-1 in their last 6 overall. For the Reds, the Over has hit in back-to-back games and is 3-1 in their last 4.

This is only a lean because the Under is 7-3 in the last 10 Milwaukee-Cincinnati matchups.
