The Cincinnati Reds will go for their sixth straight win when they travel to American Family Field tonight to open a 3-game set with the Milwaukee Brewers. The NL Central leading Reds have played well on the road, with a record of 26-18, and will have lefty Andrew Abbott on the hill. Abbott’s numbers are off the charts. He is perfect, at 4-0, with a nasty 1.21 ERA and a 0.88 WHIP. The Brewers, who trail the Reds by two games, will send Corbin Burnes to the hill. He is not the dominant hurler he has been in the past. Burnes is 6-5 with a 4.10 ERA and a 1.13 WHIP. Milwaukee is 2-5 in their last 7 home games against a left-handed starter and with a guy like Abbott on the hill it could spell trouble. The Reds are hot. Ride them ’til they are not.
TONIGHT’S PICK: CINCINNATI REDS
