Reds vs Brewers Prediction & Pick
Entering the All-Star break atop the division would be advantageous for either one of these squads, which only adds to the excitement on Friday night. Cincinnati will hand the ball to Andrew Abbott as the rookie left-handed hurler has posted a dazzling 1.21 ERA and 0.88 WHIP in six starts (4-0 record).
Abbott will be opposed by Milwaukee's Corbin Burnes, who has logged a 4.00 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in 17 starts (6-5 record). Abbott's early excellence is canceled out by Burnes' established reliability, which makes diving into other areas of the game important. T hat's where Cincinnati shines, anyways.
The Reds rank third in on-base percentage (.339) and average 1.20 stolen bases per game (No. 2 in MLB). Getting on base and into scoring position is something the team thrives at. The same thing cannot be said about a Brewers team that ranks 25th in on-base percentage (.310) this season.
Final Score Prediction:'Reds: 4 | Brewers: 3
Reds vs Brewers Best Bet
It's always risky to take on a bet with juiced odds, but the trends point to it being worth the risk t his time around. After all, Abbott has allowed 1 or fewer earned runs in five of his six starts and Burnes has allowed 3 or fewer earned runs in five of his last seven starts. All that is needed for this bet to cash is for each pitcher to keep doing what they have been doing. A pitcher's duel breaking out seems likely.
