Cincinnati Reds vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction 

Cincinnati comes into this contest looking to snap their four-game losing streak, but on a positive note, they were able to avoid being shut out in four straight games by scoring twice in the eighth inning on Friday. The Reds have really struggled at the plate during this four-game losing streak, but they might be able to break out of the slump against Rodriguez, who was awful in his first outing. Milwaukee has won four games in a row and they have allowed a total of four runs in those four games. I would love to say Cincinnati is going to get the win, but I think we are going to see a lower-scoring game, so I like the under here.
