Brewers vs. Reds Prediction

I’m on the Brewers here. Milwaukee’s simply playing the better baseball right now and Myers has been rock solid for the Brew Crew this year, still owning a sub-three ERA this late in the year. Myers also dominated in his lone start against the Reds earlier this season and the Reds are just looking like a team that’s run out of gas. Give me Milwaukee here.
