Brewers at Reds 9/25/19 – MLB Pick

The Milwaukee Brewers are looking to lock down a potential wild card berth and with the season quickly dwindling down the Brewers are looking better at getting that chance. However, one thing that the Brewers have to do is figure out how to win on the road against a decent Reds home team. That problem could actually derail the chances of the Brewers of making the playoffs and really hurt the teams chance of not having to be concerned about the Cubs catching up to them and ruining any chance the Brewers have of the playoffs. The Reds for their part, do have an important role to play and most likely would not roll over and allow the Cubs to walk all over them and actually will give the Brewers are good run for their money in this game here.

My FREE MLB Pick: Milwaukee Brewers -137

The Reds usually would have a good chance of winning at home, but this time the Reds are putting Tyler Mahle on the mound and to be honest he has been downright horrible this season. That is actually going to make it a lot harder for the Reds to pull out a win in this game. What else it does is allows the Brewers to breathe a little bit easier as the Brewers are able to dominate this game as Mahle struggles on the mound in this game. What else allows the Brewers to have a better chance of winning in this game is the fact the team is putting Lyles on the mound and he has done decent for the Brewers at shutting down the opponent and that will continue here. Final Score, Milwaukee Brewers win 6-3.
