Milwaukee is 6-1 in their last 7 games against the NL Central. The over is 20-8-1 in Milwaukee’s last 29 Sunday games. Cincinnati is 10-3 in their last 13 Sunday games and 0-7 in their last 7 game four’s of a series. The over is 5-2 in Cincinnati’s last 7 Sunday games. Milwaukee is 5-0 in these two teams last 5 head to head meetings.
Milwaukee is now just 1.5 games behind the Phillies for the last wild card spot in the NL and cannot afford to lose this game. Milwaukee is starting Freddy Peralta, who hasn’t pitching since September 8th and has allowed one run over his last 13 innings pitched. For the Reds, Nick Lodolo has allowed six runs over his last 11.1 innings pitched. I like the Brewers to complete the sweep here.
