Cincinnati Reds vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction – 4/4/2025

Cincinnati Reds vs Milwaukee Brewers Betting Preview

The Milwaukee Brewers and the Cincinnati Reds will face off again on April 4, 2025, at American Family Field. This matchup comes after a tightly contested game yesterday, where the Brewers secured a narrow 1-0 victory over the Reds. Both teams are struggling early in the season, with Milwaukee holding a 3-4 record and Cincinnati at 2-5, which sets the stage for a critical clash within the National League Central.

Carlos Rodriguez is projected to take the mound for the Brewers, and while he has had an inconsistent start to the season, he offers an opportunity to improve upon his last outing, where he allowed 4 earned runs in just 4 innings pitched. Despite his projected numbers showing an average innings pitch of 5.2 today, he does have concerns as he’s projected to allow 2.3 earned runs, along with 4.4 hits and 1.7 walks. However, the Brewers' bullpen ranks 15th in MLB, an average indication that could provide relief support if needed.

On the other side, the Reds will counter with Nick Martinez, who has struggled significantly this season, recording an ERA of 6.00 while allowing 2.6 earned runs in 5.2 projected innings. Martinez's last outing resulted in 4 earned runs over 6 innings, reflecting his challenge to keep opposing offenses at bay.

With the Brewers currently favored at -115, the implications are clear: this matchup is not only about finding ways to win but also about gaining momentum in a season where both teams are seeking to turn their fortunes around.
