Brewers vs Reds MLB Betting Preview
Milwaukee Brewers Betting Preview
The Brewers have begun to heat up as they enter this series, having won eight of their last 10 games, including a dominant sweep over the Philadelphia Phillies.
Until this recent hot streak, the Brewers' lineup had been disappointing, and they still have the lowest barrel rate and lowest average exit velocity in the majors.
However, over the last two weeks, the Brewers have been hitting the ball hard, as evidenced by their sixth-place ranking in wRC+ and a BABIP of .325.
On Monday, they'll aim to keep it rolling against Brady Singer and company.
Singer hasn't had a great start to his tenure in Cincinnati. He comes in with a 4.60 ERA and no signs of positive regression, as he's allowed a great deal of hard contact.
Additionally, the arms behind him out of the pen are due to regress; their collective xFIP is at 4.40 while their ERA is at 4.08.
All signs point to the Brewers continuing to roll at the dish.
Cincinnati Reds Betting Preview
As for the Reds, they're beginning to trend in the opposite direction. They're just 4-6 over their last 10 ballgames, and aside from Elly De La Cruz, there hasn't been much to talk about with Cincinnati's lineup.
The Reds hold the fourth-lowest xBA and xWOBA in the majors, which suggests they're due to take a step back offensively.
On Monday, they'll face Aaron Civale, who's been solid in two of his three starts, with his only blemish coming in his season debut against the Yankees.
Civale is a fly-ball pitcher, which isn't ideal at Great American Ballpark, but he's generated a lot of soft contact.
On top of that, the Reds don't hit many fly balls, as they hold the ninth-highest ground-ball rate in baseball.
This matchup favors Civale, who should navigate this Reds lineup efficiently.
Brewers vs Reds Pick, Best Bets
It's clear these two teams are trending in opposite directions, and this matchup favors the hotter team, the Brewers. They're in line to have success against Singer and the arms behind him.
Meanwhile, the Reds are cooling down and facing a Brewers pitching staff due for positive regression from both Civale and many guys in the bullpen.
Back the Brew Crew as underdogs.
