Cincinnati Reds vs. Milwaukee Brewers Prediction

I’m on the Reds in this game. I just think the Brewers’ focus right now is on the postseason, and while Peralta’s one of their best, I have to wonder how long the Brewers will let him roll out to make sure he stays healthy. The Reds are in do or die, win and you’re in mode and they’ve been finding a way in this series. Give me Cincinnati here.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Cincinnati +130
