Milwaukee Brewers vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction

The Brewers have the momentum heading into this game, but that is going to stop here. Frankie Montas is on the mound for the Brewers and I don’t trust him. The Reds offense struggled on Friday but that isn’t going to be the case here. The Brewers offense also used up most of their offense on Friday and they are going to struggle with the bats here. Back the Reds on the money line to cash.
