Cincinnati at Milwaukee

Cincinnati has offensive talent with Joey Votto and Adam Duvall, and the Reds have had a good weekend showing signs of busting out offensively. They had a 9-5 loss in the series opener on Friday and finally broke out the clutch hits in Saturday's 7-6 triumph as Duvall smashed a three-run homer. The Reds have a good young lefty starter in Brandon Finnegan (3.97 ERA), with opponents hitting .234 off him. He dazzled the Dodgers in his last start, allowing one run in eight innings, five hits and has a 2.70 ERA on the road. Milwaukee is a .500 team at home with a losing record overall. They were -140 chalk yesterday and lost. Brewers' starter Jimmy Nelson has walked seven batters his last two starts (13 innings). He has already faced the Reds, getting smacked around for eight hits and six runs in five innings. The last four years Nelson has a losing record at home and is 1-2 against Cincinnati with a 6.98 ERA in 34 innings, surrendering 41 hits and 12 walks. Play the Reds.
