Cincinnati Reds 

The Reds couldn’t get much going at the plate on Friday, posting just four hits in a 7-3 loss. On Saturday Cincinnati fell behind 4-1 after the third inning but eventually powered out an 8-5 win. Starter Luke Weaver went 3.2 innings with five earned on six hits and two walks. 

In the starter slot for the Reds on Sunday, the team didn’t immediately announce a name. 

Milwaukee Brewers 

Over on the Milwaukee side, they scored two runs in three different innings in the Friday opener. In game two the Brewers were out-hit 13-9 and didn’t score after the fourth inning. Colin Rea put up 4.2 innings in the start with five earned on seven hits and a walk. 

Wade Miley will come out for the start Sunday. Across his 12 starts this year Miley is 5-2 with a 3.36 ERA and 38 Ks in 61.2 innings. Miley is 104-96 with a 4.10 ERA in 304 career games (297 starts). 

ANDREW’S FREE PICK 

I’ll probably lean toward the Brewers. Miley was a little sketchy in his last outing (5.0 innings and four earned versus the Cubs in a no-decision) but he’d been pitching fairly well prior to that. Miley had just two earned over his previous 10.0 frames. On Saturday Milwaukee had a nice start offensively but ultimately fizzled out. The pen gave up three earned in 4.1 innings on six hits and a walk as well. It’s going to take a more focused all-around effort for the Brewers to win this series, but I think they’re the better option.
