With last night’s 1-0 win over the Cincinnati Reds, the Milwaukee Brewers and the Reds are now tied for the top spot in the NL Central. Corbin Burnes pitched a gem last night for Milwaukee and Cincinnati was only able to muster two hits, but tonight’s outcome should be different. The Reds are expected to give the nod to lefty Andrew Abbott and he has been dealing. Abbott is 4-1 with a 2.38 ERA, a 1.03 WHIP, and Cincinnati is 6-1 in his last 7 starts. The Brewers are expected to counter with Freddy Peralta. He comes in at 5-7 with a 4.70 ERA, a 1.30 WHIP, and Milwaukee is just 1-9 in his last 10 road starts. Cincinnati has the edge in runs per game, run differential, batting average, hits, and homers. Consider the Reds.
TONIGHT’S PICK: CINCINNATI REDS
