Preview

Milwaukee Brewers and Cincinnati Reds will play game 1 of their 3-Game series at American Family Field in Milwaukee on Friday. Milwaukee Brewers are leading 7-2 straight up Vs Cincinnati Reds in this season so far.

Milwaukee Brewers 

Milwaukee Brewers are coming off a terrible series Vs the Pirates as Pittsburgh swept them 3-0, the Brewers have scored 14 runs and allowed 18 runs in 3 games in this series. Milwaukee are now on a 4 games losing streak going into this tricky game Vs Cincinnati on Friday. Milwaukee are 5th in runs scored and 18th in runs allowed this season.

Probable pitcher:

Eric Lauer (7-3, 3.75 ERA) will be on the mound for the Brewers in game 1 on Friday, Lauer's last start was against Boston Red Sox and he went 5 innings allowing 1 Earned run and had 4 strikeouts in a game that ended as a 9-4 win for the Brewers.

Cincinnati Reds

Cincinnati Reds have lost their last game in the series Vs Miami 0-3 but Cincinnati still have won the series 2-1 and it's their second series win in a row after also beating Baltimore Orioles 2-1 before that. Cincinnati Reds are now 4-1 straight up last 5 games and they have been performing really consistently in the last 20 games or so in this season. Reds are 16th in runs scored and 28th in runs allowed this season.

Probable pitcher:

Robert Dugger (0-0, 4.50 ERA) will be on the mound for the Reds in game 1 on Friday, Dugger's last start was against Chicago White Sox and he went 2.20 innings allowing 2 earned runs and had 2 strikeouts in a game that ended as a 5-7 loss for the Reds.

Betting Trends

Milwaukee Brewers have gone Over the total in 7 of last 9 home games.

Milwaukee Brewers are 1-4 Straight up last 5 games.

Milwaukee Brewers have gone Over the total in 4 of last 5 games.

Cincinnati Reds have gone Under the total in 5 of last 6 games.

Cincinnati Reds are 4-1 Straight up last 5 games.

Cincinnati Reds are 3-12 straight up last 15 games Vs Milwaukee.

Prediction
I don't think that Milwaukee Brewers should be laying that much juice when they are on a 4 games losing streak and while they are on a really bad form lately. Cincinnati on the other hand are playing really well and won their last series Vs Marlins and they also have won 4 of their last 5 games so I like them to keep it close here at least if not win outright so give me the Red run line.
PICK: Cincinnati Red +1.5 (-106).
