Cincinnati Reds vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction

I’m on the Reds here. I like the Brewers and what they’ve put together and Greene’s had his issues in his career against the Brew Crew, but Cincinnati’s hot right now and Peralta’s been hittable in his own right. It’s not going to be a runaway by any stretch, but I think in the end, the Reds get a win to keep the momentum going here. Give me Cincinnati.
