Milwaukee Brewers vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction
Abbott has been money this season with a 2.41 ERA and 1.11 WHIP, but it doesn’t matter. We’ve been on the Brewers a lot during this winning streak, and there’s no reason to turn back now. The Brewers haven’t lost a game since July 30. There’s not much left to say, folks. The winning streak will end eventually, but I’m going to keep backing the Brew Crew until the tickets stop cashing.
