Tips and Trends
Milwaukee Brewers at Cincinnati Reds
Brewers: Milwaukee had defeated the Reds on four consecutive occasions after Thursday’s 9-6 win during the first game of this four-game series. Though the Reds took Friday’s contest 4-0, they still trail the season series 6-4. The ‘over’ has also gone 6-4 during the first 10 meetings. It was the fourth time this season and the second time this month that the Brewers have been blanked. Manny Parra is very familiar with the Reds, as the southpaw will be making his third start against them this season. Parra, 3-8 with a bloated 6.78 ERA, split the previous two meetings. The lanky lefty recorded a 15-3 win at Cincinnati, but suffered a 6-1 loss at home. He has allowed the Reds five runs on 11 hits in 12 combined innings. The Brewers are a dismal 3-11 in Parra’s first 14 starts this season, including 0-4 in his last six overall outings.
The Brewers are 2-7 in their last nine road games.
Key Injuries - None.
PROJECTED SCORE: 6 (Side of the Day)
Reds (-$1.20 O/U 9.5): Cincinnati had dropped six of its last nine games before blanking the Brewers in Friday’s contest. The victory enabled Cincinnati to even its home record at 21-21. The Reds are 13-15 against southpaw starting pitchers. Aaron Harang will get the ball in Saturday’s contest trying to snap a nine-game winless streak. The right-hander is 0-5 with a 5.26 ERA since his last victory on May 25. Five of those starts were quality outings but Sunday's certainly didn't qualify. He made it through just three innings and allowed five earned runs and eight hits with one walk and two strikeouts in a 9-7 loss to the Mets. Harang has faced the Brewers once this season (May 30) and suffered a 9-5 loss as a $1.15 road underdog. The Brewers tagged him for eight runs on 12 hits (three homers) in just 4 1/3 innings.
The Under is 11-3 in Cincinnati’s last 14 games as a favorite.
Key Injuries - None.
PROJECTED SCORE: 5
