Roark slows down Brewers

Cincinnati cruised to a 7-1 victory Thursday night at Milwaukee to improve to 35-38 overall and 16-21 on the road. Tanner Roark picked up the win on the mound as he gave up one earned run on three hits with seven strikeouts and no walks over six innings.

Yelich homers in loss

Milwaukee struggled to get anything going Thursday night in a 7-1 home loss versus Cincinnati. Christian Yelich paced the Brewers offense as he ended the game 2-for-4 with a solo home run. Orlando Arcia finished the contest 1-for-3, while Eric Thames and Travis Shaw both went 1-for-4. Jimmy Nelson suffered the loss as he surrendered five earned runs on seven hits with five strikeouts and four walks over five innings.

MLB Betting Trends

Cincinnati

The Reds are 5-1 in the last six Gray starts. Cincinnati is 4-0 in its last five games versus a right-handed starter. 

Milwaukee

The Brewers are 4-1 in their last five home games. Milwaukee is 5-1 in the last six Anderson starts versus the NL Central.

Prediction:

I'm going to take try and ride the Reds' hot streak for another day. Gray is the superior pitcher in this matchup and Cincinnati is better than its overall record. Milwaukee is tough to beat at home, but the Reds solved that puzzle yesterday and I think the formula is there for it to happen again tonight.
