Brewers vs Reds Prediction 

Milwaukee comes into this series looking to extend their seven game winning streak and they have scored five runs or more in five straight games. The Brewers are 14-18 on the road this year, while the Reds are 14-14 at home. Cincinnati has lost three of their last four games and they have scored a total of five runs in those three losses. The Reds are starting Singer, who has allowed two earned runs in back to back outings. The Brewers are going with Civale, who has allowed eight earned runs and 11 hits over 12.0 innings this year. I don’t love either pitcher in this game, but I do think Singer is the better option. Take the Reds here.
