Reds vs Brewers Betting Preview
A National League Central battle begins Friday night when the Cincinnati Reds (42-62, 18-30 away) visit the Milwaukee Brewers (57-48, 26-20 home). The Reds are out of the playoff race and the Brewers now find themselves in second place in the NL Central, though they are tied with the St. Louis Cardinals. This game will air live on Apple TV+.
Brandon Drury is having a nice season for the Reds as he leads the team with 20 home runs, 59 RBIs and a .274 batting average. One issue with that, however, is that Drury is now a San Diego Padre, and a big chunk of the Reds offense is gone. Cincinnati is hitting .240 and the pitchers have combined for a 5.01 ERA and 1.40 WHIP.
Willy Adames has been the power source for the Brewers as he leads the team with 21 home runs and Rowdy Tellez has a team high 68 RBIs. Christian Yelich has a team high .261 batting average. Milwaukee is hitting .241 and the pitching staff has combined for a 3.89 ERA and 1.26 WHIP.
