This game is critical for the Reds as they look to gain ground, while the Brewers aim to maintain their momentum heading into the postseason.

Their batting average sits at a low .232, showcasing their struggles at the plate. The Reds' pitching staff has performed relatively well with an ERA of 4.13, placing them 17th among MLB teams.
