Milwaukee Brewers at Cincinnati Reds Prediction

Despite the Brewers dropping 3 straight games, they come into this contest with Cincinnati at -180 on the money line. In their last matchup against Hunter Greene, the Brewers had a home run derby at American Family Field. However, instead of taking Milwaukee to win, I recommend grabbing the over. Great American Ballpark is one of the most home run friendly venues in the league, and Brewers starter Freddy Peralta has been experiencing some early season struggles.
