Back to business.
While the Reds have overachieved, the Brewers are just a game back in the NL Central.
Milwaukee can make a statement to open the second half by getting even.
The Crew’s Corbin Burnes has won two in a row, allowing just four hits over those 13 innings.
Cincinnati’s Graham Ashcraft has given up 10 hits over his last 12 ²/₃ but has worked out of trouble, allowing only two runs.
We will take the Brewers for $50.
