MLB | CIN vs MIL
Play on: OVER 8½ -114
Friday MLB Free play. My selection is on the 'over' between Cincinnati and Milwaukee at 8:10 pm et on Friday.
We saw a relatively low-scoring affair in the opener of this series last night but I look for a different story to unfold on Friday.
Wade Miley will get the start for Cincinnati. He's having another fine season but I suspect we could see him run into some trouble here, noting that he'll be pitching on just four days' rest for the fourth time in his last five turns in the rotation. Consider he's worked at least six innings in each of his last five outings (and into the seventh inning in four of those). Note that he's allowed 18 hits and six earned runs over his last two starts alone, covering a span of 12 2/3 innings.
Should Miley struggle, we could see plenty of a Reds bullpen that has posted a 5.21 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in night games this season (entering last night's action). We're talking about an overworked 'pen that hasn't had a day off since June 23rd.
Eric Lauer will counter for Milwaukee. The Reds seem to have figured him out going back to the start of last season, knocking him around for 10 hits and 10 earned runs while drawing seven walks and striking out only five times in two games spanning just eight innings against him. Lauer checks in with a less than impressive 4.50 ERA and 1.38 WHIP in five home starts this season. While he has held his own in his last two outings, both of those were favorable situations, at home against Colorado and on the road in Pittsburgh. Prior to that he had allowed 14 earned runs in 12 innings during a three-start stretch.
The Brewers bullpen has been serviceable here at home this season, but certainly not great, posting a collective 4.23 ERA and 1.34 WHIP. Take the over (8*).
