Cincinnati Reds vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction
We’ve seen some crooked numbers from these teams last week, and I expect a high-scoring game here as well. Lodolo has a 5.59 ERA and 1.52 WHIP on the season, while Gasser has a 4.50 ERA and 1.27 WHIP. Lodolo has allowed 28 hits and 13 runs in his last 19 innings. I expect some offense in this spot. Give me the over in a battle of two pitchers who have been hittable all season.
