The Milwaukee Brewers look to extend their 14-game winning streak and break out the series broom when they meet the Cincinnati Reds.
Milwaukee has won four of its last five at Great American Ballpark, and my Brewers vs. Reds predictions expect a comfortable win for the Brew Crew.
Read on for my MLB picks for Sunday, August 17.
Brewers vs Reds prediction
Brewers vs Reds best bet: Brewers -1.5 (+150)
Milwaukee Brewers starter Jose Quintana faces a Cincinnati Reds lineup with a 24% strikeout rate against lefties with one bomb, 18 hits, and an .819 OPS against him in 59 career at-bats.
Quintana also hands the ball to a Brewers bullpen that owns a 2.45 ERA and 0.99 WHIP over its last 47 2/3 innings.
That pitching staff should be strong enough to cover the run line, while Milwaukee’s bats can take advantage of Reds lefty Andrew Abbott and Cincinnati’s bullpen.
Abbott draws a Brewers lineup that strikes out just 20% of the time against southpaws with a .718 OPS with three homers and 15 hits in 62 plate appearances against him.
Milwaukee should scratch out enough runs against Abbott and a Reds bullpen with a 3.41 ERA and 1.38 WHIP over its last 37 innings to cover the run line today.
Brewers vs Reds same-game parlay (SGP)
Milwaukee has covered the run line as favorites in six of its previous 10 games, and Quintana and a steady Brewers bullpen should quiet Cincinnati’s bats.
The Brewers have scored at least six runs in seven straight games and should score at least four runs against Abbott and a shaky Reds pen, while both staffs keep the scoring Under 9 runs.
