On Friday, the Cincinnati Reds visit the Milwaukee Brewers to open a three-game series between the two National League Central rivals. Cincinnati dropped to 5-7 following its 2-0 loss on Wednesday to the Cleveland Indians. Tejay Antone made his first start in the major leagues for Cincinnati and suffered the loss.

Nicholas Castellanos is leading Cincinnati in hitting with a batting average of .366, in home runs with six, RBIs with 13 and hits with 15. On Friday, the Reds will send Trevor Bauer to the mound. The right-hander is 1-0 with an ERA of 0.68, 20 Ks and 3 BBs.

Milwaukee improved to 4-5 following its 1-0 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday. The win snapped a two-game losing streak for the Brewers. Adrian Houser pitched seven shutout innings for the Brewers. In two starts for Milwaukee in 2020, Hauser has allowed only one run across 12 innings pitched. Eric Sogard knocked in Milwaukee's only run with a single.

Avisail Garcia is leading Milwaukee in hitting with a batting average .250. Ben Gamel is leading Milwaukee in home runs with two and RBIs with seven. Keston Hiura is the hits leader with eight. Milwaukee has not yet announced it's starting pitcher for Friday.

Both Cincinnati and Milwaukee are not playing up to par at the plate and that makes the play here, the UNDER. The UNDER has cashed in four of Cincinnati's last five and eight of the Brewers last 12. The UNDER has also cashed in four of Cincinnati's last five played on the road. Final Score Prediction, Cincinnati Reds win but our best play is UNDER 4-2.
