Reds vs. Brewers Betting Prediction
The Brewers just completed a definitive sweep over the Braves on Thursday afternoon. Milwaukee won the three games of that series by scores of 10-0, 8-5, and 16-7. It appears that the Brewers are on the verge of a breakout. Before that series, Milwaukee was just 7-7 since the All-Star break. Now the Brewers are back at American Family Field, where they have a straight up record of 31-21 this season. What’s more, Milwaukee is 24-13 straight up as a home favorite this year. That’s tied for the fifth-best mark in baseball. I think the Brew Crew keep the ball rolling with an outright win over the Redlegs at home on Friday night.
