Cincinnati Reds vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction

The Milwaukee Brewers have been the sharper, more consistent team this season, they're at home and they have the pitching edge. The Brewers and the cheap price on Sunday has to be one of the better bets on this card. Frankie Montas has been hit or miss all season, and he's had more misses than hits on the road. Colin Rea has pitched like an all star caliber pitcher for much of the season, and he's been nearly unhittable at home. I'll gladly take the Brewers and the cheap price at home in game 3 against the Reds.
