Brewers vs Reds +114 O/U 8.5
The Continues their four game series against the Reds trying to catch the Pirates for first place. Nick Martinez takes the helm for Cincinnati. Martinez has had a rough start with a 7.2 ERA over ten innings, but he is a solid pitcher looking at his last two years ERA in the 3.4 range. As good as Nick is, he isn’t as good as Brewers ace Freddy Peralta who is red hot with a 3.09 ERA and a 2.78 FIP. Peralta is a Cy Young candidate while the Brewers are still a bit hot about their manager leaving for Chicago. Looking at the Bullpens, I really can’t say that I trust either of them both ranked in the 20s in FIP. What I can trust is the Brewers red hot hitting ranking 4th in wRC+ while the Reds sit at 16th in that category. I think that the price is short here for the first five being that the Reds seems to start out so cold in their games as of late. Take the Crew 1st 5.
Brewers 1st 5 -125 – 1 star
