Key Stats
Cincinnati Reds
Frankie Montas(RHP) will get the start for the Reds in today’s game. Montas has started the season 2-0 with a 0.77 ERA and has struck out nine batters. Spencer Steer leads the team with a .378 batting average, 14 hits, 14 RBIs, an OBP of .465, and three home runs.
Milwaukee Brewers
The Brewers are expected to start Joe Ross(RHP) for today’s game. Ross has started the season 0-0 with a 0.00 ERA and three strikeouts. William Contreras leads the team with a .389 batting average, 14 hits, nine RBIs, and an OBP of .439. Christian Yelich has hit a team-high four home runs.
Game Prediction
Cincinnati came out swinging yesterday, but can they do it again today? The Brewers have a tough matchup against Montas, who has been near-perfect to start the season. Ross will give the Reds an opportunity to score a few runs. This game will be a dogfight between two contending teams, and I think the Brew Crew is just a little better. While Montas is off to a hot start, this is his toughest test of the year. I am going with my gut in this one and rolling with Milwaukee to bounce back and tie the series 1-1.
Final Pick
Milwaukee Brewers ML (+124)
