Cincinnati Reds vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 6/23/26, 3:27 PM  by Lou Aguila in MLB Picks

The Brewers will once again turn to their bullpen and a prolific road game offense in Game 2 of their series against the Cincinnati Reds.

The Brewers are 4-2 ATS in their 6 games against division rivals this season.

Current Form:

After a three-game slump, the Milwaukee Brewers returned to their winning ways after posting back-to-back wins over Atlanta (9-4 Game 3) and Cincinnati (2-1 F/10 Game 1). The Brewers have only averaged 3.5 runs per game on a .235 BA over their last five games, though they have maintained a rock-solid 3.05 in this stretch.

The Cincinnati Reds continued to deliver stellar pitching despite suffering a 1-2 loss to the Brewers in Game 1. The Reds, who surrendered a total of three runs in the final two games of their series against the Yankees, limited Milwaukee to two runs in the series opener. Unfortunately, Cincinnati’s offense went missing in action again, recording two hits and zero walks through 10 innings.

Starting Pitchers:

Brewers RHP Brandon Sproat (1-4, 5.94 ERA) surrendered 4 earned runs over 3.2 innings in his last mound appearance against Cleveland on June 17.

Reds LHP Nick Lodolo (2-2, 6.19 ERA) is coming off a horrendous start against the New York Mets, giving up 7 runs and 11 hits over 4.2 innings in a 1-9 loss.

The Matchup: The Brewers have won the last two meetings with the Reds and own a 6-4 record in their last 10 faceoffs.
