While the Brewers finally got back in the victory column with a rout of the Mets on Wednesday night, their euphoria did not last as they lost a lead in the series finale.

To lead the offensive, Renfroe and Rowdy Tellez both had multi-hit games. Eric Lauer will take the field for the 12th time this season, looking to build on his impressive season, which saw him go 5-2 with a 3.36 ERA and 67 strikeouts in 61.2 innings.
The 27-year-old slowed recently, and in a defeat to the Washington Nationals last Saturday, he was pounded for eight runs on 7 hits and 4 walks in five innings.
- The total went OVER in 6 of Milwaukee’s last 8 matches.
- The Milwaukee Brewers are 2-10 SU in their last 12 matches.

Milwaukee Brewers vs Cincinnati Reds Predictions 6/17/2022
Cincinnati was playing well since a dreadful 3-22 start, but their three-game winning run came to a stop Wednesday when they were unable to complete a sweep in Arizona.
The Reds grabbed an early advantage in the second inning, when a run scored on an Arizona error before Jonathan India hit an RBI double and Brandon Drury blasted a game-tying two-run homer in the eighth inning, only for Arizona to counter with 4 runs in the bottom of the frame.
Hunter Greene, a rookie, will make his 13th career start, seeking to improve his consistency after going 3-7 with a 5.10 ERA and 79 strikeouts in just 60 innings.
The 22-year-old flamethrower was on the rise recently, and on Saturday he struck out seven batters while holding the St. Louis Cardinals to one run on two hits and 2 walks over 5 plus innings.
- The total went OVER in 6 of Cincinnati’s last 6 matches against Milwaukee.
- The total went UNDER in 4 of Cincinnati’s last 5 matches at home.
- The total went OVER in 7 of Cincinnati’s last 7 matches at home against Milwaukee.
Milwaukee Brewers vs Cincinnati Reds. The MLB pick for this game is the Milwaukee Brewers. While the Brewers will need to improve their hitting to stay in the NL Central, they have enough talent to handle a terrible Reds pitching rotation even if they are in poor form.
This year, Lauer appeared to find something out, as his work is remarkable, although Greene remains a touch too crazy to trust. Aside from last week’s catastrophe, Lauer showed a lot of promise this season, with an 80 ERA and a solid 17.7 K-BB percent.
Milwaukee has a terrific chance to get back on track, and on Friday, it will finally give enough run support for its powerful pitching staff. The Milwaukee Brewers will win to a predicted score of 6-4.
