Brewers vs. Reds – Game Betting Preview & Prediction
Moneyline: Cincinnati -110
Spread: Cincinnati -1.5 (+165)
Total: 9.5
Milwaukee Brewers Betting Outlook
The Brewers are living in baseball heaven right now, riding a 14-game winning streak that has already cemented itself as a franchise record. Saturday’s 6-5, extra-inning victory over Cincinnati was another example of their resiliency, marking their eighth comeback win during the streak.
Jose Quintana (10-4, 3.44 ERA) gets the ball Sunday, aiming to extend Milwaukee’s dominance. The veteran lefty has owned the Reds historically, posting a 2.71 ERA across 15 career starts against them. Backed by a staff ranked top three in ERA, the Brewers continue to show they can outlast anyone. Momentum and pitching depth give them a strong shot at another series sweep.
Prediction edge: Milwaukee keeps rolling, leaning on Quintana’s consistency and a never-say-die lineup.
Cincinnati Reds Betting Outlook
Cincinnati has now dropped four straight and is desperate to halt Milwaukee’s historic surge. The Reds nearly snapped the streak Saturday but unraveled late, with defensive miscues and bullpen leaks proving costly.
They’ll counter Sunday with All-Star southpaw Andrew Abbott (8-3, 2.41 ERA), who’s been one of the National League’s most reliable arms all year. Abbott has stumbled recently, losing back-to-back outings, but his elite command and ability to limit big innings still make him a dangerous weapon at home. Against a red-hot Brewers lineup, though, he’ll need run support that hasn’t shown up lately.
Prediction edge: Cincinnati fights hard behind Abbott, but the bats remain inconsistent against a steady Brewers rotation.
Final Betting Outlook
With Cincinnati sitting as a narrow -110 favorite and the total set at 9.5, MyBookie oddsmakers expect a tight, competitive finale. Still, Milwaukee’s momentum is undeniable, and Quintana’s success against the Reds makes the Brewers the more reliable play.
