Christian Yelich and his Milwaukee Brewers will go for a series win when they wrap up their 4-game set this afternoon with the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park. The Brewers are off to a great start and so is Yelich. The Brew are 8-3 and Yelich is batting .316 with 5 homers. They should be able to do some damage today against the Reds expected starter, Nick Martinez. Martinez is winless thus far with an elevated ERA of 7.20 and a 1.60 WHIP. Freddy Peralta is expected to get the nod for the Brewers. Peralta is 1-0 with a 3.09 ERA and a nasty WHIP of 0.80. He is also 5-2 in his career against the Reds with an ERA of 2.88 and 3-1 in his career at Great American Ball Park with a 2.85 ERA. Milwaukee has won 2 straight against Cincinnati and 8 of the last 10 so they have their number and are the side to consider today.
