Cincinnati Reds
Moneyline Pick - Cincinnati Reds (-120): B

The Cincinnati Reds, currently on a two-game losing streak, are set to face the Milwaukee Brewers at Great American Ball Park. Cincinnati's starting pitcher struggled against Milwaukee in their last matchup, allowing five runs (only three earned)in nine hits over five innings of work. Conversely, Milwaukee's starter has been struggling this season, with an ERA of 6.00 in his limited appearences. The Reds have been effective against right-handed pitching recently, with a batting average over .300 over their last five games, while the Brewers have a 8-2 record in their last 10 games.

Considering the Reds' current momentum and recent offensive performance, backing Cincinnati as a home favorite seems reasonable. However, given the pitching matchup and the Reds' starter's history against Milwaukee, this bet carries some risk. It's a solid play but not a guaranteed win.

Over/Under Pick - Under 9 (-110): B

The Milwaukee Brewers and Cincinnati Reds face off tonight in a matchup featuring two right-handed starters. Both teams are dealing with injuries to key players, which could impact their offensive output. The Reds' lineup is without a key contributor due to a wrist injury, while the Brewers are missing a significant bat in their order. Additionally, both bullpens are well-rested following a mutual off-day, suggesting that pitching depth could play a crucial role in the game's outcome.

Given the current circumstances, including the absence of key offensive players and rested bullpens, the game may lean towards a lower-scoring affair. While both teams have the potential to generate runs, the combination of factors points towards a more subdued offensive performance. Therefore, considering the under on the total runs could be a prudent betting approach for this matchup.

Spread Pick - Cincinnati Reds, +1.5 (-204): B

The Cincinnati Reds, riding a less than good run of form, host the Milwaukee Brewers tonight at Great American Ball Park. Cincinnati's starting pitcher has shown improved command this season, leading to a reduced walk rate but an ERA over 4.00 over 58.2 innings. Conversely, Milwaukee's starter has a career 2.03 ERA against the Reds, with 10 strikeouts in 2 appearances. The Brewers are currently on a seven-game winning streak but are missing a key middle-order hitter due to injury. Meanwhile, the Reds' bullpen has been bolstered by the return of a reliever from injury, providing stability in late innings.

Considering the Reds' current momentum, improved pitching, and a healthier roster, taking Cincinnati with the +1.5 run line offers solid value. While the profit margin may be modest, the combination of factors suggests that backing the home side is a prudent choice for tonight's matchup.
