Brewers Blaze Through June Start With Confidence Against Reds
What a night it's shaping up to be as the Milwaukee Brewers clash with the Cincinnati Reds in what’s shaping up to be a pivotal NL Central showdown. If you’re following this matchup, then you already know how much heat Milwaukee is bringing to the table right now. The Brewers are red-hot—rolling in with a seven-game winning streak, fresh off back-to-back sweeps against the Red Sox and the Phillies. That kind of momentum is hard to ignore.
Now, the numbers from the betting world back it up too. Milwaukee enters Monday’s game as a slight underdog at -109, but don’t let that fool you—the model over at SportsLine simulated this game 10,000 times and has Milwaukee covering the -1.5 run line in 71% of those outcomes. The projected final score? Brewers 5.0, Reds 4.7. That makes the +150 odds on Milwaukee to cover that line look like a very enticing play.

A lot of eyes are on Christian Yelich tonight—and for good reason. The man is hitting .346 over his last 13 games and has gone over 1.5 total bases in five straight road matchups. The projection model loves him to do it again, and at -109, there’s solid value there. He’s not alone, though. Brice Turang, William Contreras, and Jackson Chourio have all been key contributors, keeping the offense dynamic and aggressive. With 81 team steals, Milwaukee ranks second in all of MLB in that department.
Over on the Reds’ side, Elly De La Cruz continues to be a one-man highlight reel. He’s hitting .258 with 12 homers, and 42 RBIs—and his two-hit, one-homer outing against the Cubs just yesterday shows he's in rhythm. The model has him over 1.5 total bases tonight as well at -106, which is something to keep an eye on if you're into props.
From a pitching standpoint, we’ve got Aaron Civale taking the mound for Milwaukee against Brady Singer for Cincinnati. Civale’s ERA sits at 6.00, but he’s looked better in his last two outings since returning from injury. Singer, meanwhile, is 6-3 on the year with a 4.60 ERA and will look to steady a Reds team trying to avoid a third straight loss.
Team-wise, Milwaukee has been better than expected lately. Their starter ERA ranks sixth in MLB, and while the bullpen has had its moments, guys like Abner Uribe and Trevor Megill have held things down. On the flip side, the Reds have a decent bullpen anchored by Tony Santillan and Brent Suter, but they’re dealing with several injuries, including key names like Jeimer Candelario and Noelvi Marte.
At this point in the season, every game starts to matter a little more, and with the Brewers inching closer to a Wild Card spot, this road series against a division rival becomes even more important. With hot bats, timely pitching, and a chip on their shoulder, the Brewers are looking to make another statement tonight. If they keep this streak alive, they’re not just playoff contenders—they’re a serious threat in the NL Central.
