Moneyline: Cincinnati -120 | Total: 9.5
Milwaukee Brewers: Riding High on Momentum
The Brewers arrive in Cincinnati riding a wave of confidence, fresh off sweeping the top-seeded Phillies on the road and pushing their win streak to seven, their best run since August 2023. Manager Pat Murphy attributes the team’s turnaround to a gritty comeback win in Pittsburgh last week, calling it the spark that lit the fire.
Despite a scare when Christian Yelich took a pitch off the hand on Sunday, X-rays came back clean. Jake Bauers stepped in and delivered the go-ahead double, showing Milwaukee’s depth is alive and well.
On the mound, Aaron Civale gets the ball. While he’s still searching for his first win in 2025, he’s posted strong career numbers against the Reds (2-0, 2.03 ERA). If the Brewers continue to apply pressure over nine innings like Bauers noted, they could keep their streak alive.
Cincinnati Reds: Searching for Answers
The Reds return home after a rough series loss to the Cubs, managing just five hits combined over the final two games. Despite Sunday’s loss, Elly De La Cruz provided a moment of inspiration by launching a two-run homer in honor of his late sister, a reminder that some moments transcend the game.
Brady Singer will toe the rubber for Cincinnati, aiming to build off a solid seven-inning outing against Kansas City. At 6-3 with a 4.60 ERA, he’s been reliable, but the Reds’ offense must step up to support him.
Manager Terry Francona was blunt after Sunday’s dud, saying they “need to find ways to manufacture runs when we’re not swinging.” They’ll have their hands full against a Brewers team that’s clicking in all phases.
Final Score Prediction:
Milwaukee’s momentum is tough to fade right now. With better current form and a deeper offensive rhythm, the Brewers look like the more complete side. Civale’s past success against the Reds also adds confidence to the pick.
