Milwaukee Brewers Analysis

The Milwaukee Brewers started the season with four consecutive losses but managed to win their last two games against the Royals. They are currently 2-4 on the season, tied for third in the NL Central. Jackson Chourio and Joey Lopez were key players in Wednesday's extra-inning victory, with Chourio hitting his first homer of the season and Turang securing the winning run with a bunt single. Freddy Peralta had a strong performance on the mound but did not get the win. Tyler Alexander is expected to start the next game for the Brewers. Despite their 3-4 record, the Brewers have a power ranking of 24, ranking 18th in offense and last in defense. Cincinnati has won two out of the last three matchups against Milwaukee.

Cincinnati Set to Take Advantage of Milwaukee's Starting Rotation Woes

Cincinnati faced challenges in their recent matchups against the Rangers in terms of scoring runs. Their upcoming opponent, Milwaukee, is dealing with significant absences in their starting rotation, including Brandon Woodruff, Aaron Civale, and Tobias Myers. As a result, the Brewers are relying heavily on their bullpen, which has already been under strain in the early stages of the season. With limitations on Alexander's pitch count in his previous outings, it is unlikely that he will pitch deep into the game. In contrast, Martinez is a reliable starting pitcher for Cincinnati, making it likely that the Reds will find success at the plate in this game. Therefore, this is a favorable matchup for Cincinnati, and they are predicted to emerge victorious.
