Moneyline: Milwaukee -143
Spread: Milwaukee -1.5 (+115)
Total: 9.0
Milwaukee Brewers Betting Preview
The Brewers are scorching hot and enter Cincinnati as -143 moneyline favorites with the total set at 9.0 runs. Milwaukee is riding a jaw-dropping 12-game winning streak and has taken 27 of its last 31, sitting atop MLB with a 76-44 record.
They’ve already produced three different double-digit win streaks this season, a rare feat and are just one victory away from tying the 1987 franchise record of 13 straight wins. Their latest dominance came in a series sweep of the Pirates, capped by a 12-5 offensive outburst that followed a 14-0 blowout the day prior. William Contreras drove in four runs in the finale, highlighting a relentless offense that’s been punishing opposing pitchers.
Manager Pat Murphy has praised the team’s focus, but also acknowledged that maintaining this kind of pace takes a bit of good fortune. Still, with their bats firing and confidence sky-high, Milwaukee looks like a nightmare matchup for anyone right now.
Cincinnati Reds Betting Preview
The Reds are clinging to hope in the NL Wild Card race, coming off an impressive series win against the first-place Phillies. Wednesday’s 8-0 victory was a statement, fueled by ace Hunter Greene’s six scoreless innings in his first start back from a two-month IL stint.
Trade deadline additions have paid off, especially Miguel Andujar, who crushed a grand slam against Philadelphia and has three home runs in his last four games. Noelvi Marte has added timely hits, and Ke’Bryan Hayes has been flashing gold-glove defense at third base while contributing at the plate.
Nick Martinez (10-9, 4.49 ERA) gets the start, fresh off a seven-inning gem against Pittsburgh. He faced Milwaukee back in April, allowing three runs over 4 2/3 innings in a 3-2 loss. Cincinnati will need a similar strong effort if they want to slow down baseball’s hottest team.
Betting Outlook & Prediction
Milwaukee’s momentum, offensive depth, and the looming possibility of tying a franchise record make them tough to bet against. Cincinnati has firepower, but slowing the Brewers’ bats feels like a tall order over nine innings.
Score Prediction: Brewers 6, Reds 4
Pick: Milwaukee -1.5 (+115)
