Reds rally in ninth

Cincinnati scored twice in the bottom of the ninth inning Wednesday night to complete a three-game sweep over visiting Houston with a 3-2 victory.

MLB Betting Trends

Cincinnati

The Reds are 5-2 in their last seven Thursday games. Cincinnati is 1-5 in the last six Roark starts.

Milwaukee

The Brewers are 4-0 in their last four home games. Milwaukee is 1-5 in its last six games overall.

Prediction:

Nelson hasn't pitched very well since returning from a major shoulder injury, although his strikeout rate has been solid. I am going to try and take advantage of Nelson trying to figure it out and take a shot at a reliable pitcher in Roark on the road. Milwaukee is tough to beat at Miller Park, but the Reds have been playing well lately and I think they can parlay that into another victory here as they look to climb back into the NL Central race.
