This is an 8* TOTAL SPECIAL on the UNDER Reds/Brewers.

The Brewers won 18-4 yesterday. The total has gone OVER the number in both games so far in this series, but after yesterday's "run-fest," we're expecting much more of a duel here.

Cincinnati has now seen the total go OVER the number in eight of its last ten and in three straight. The Reds won't be lacking for overall motivation here either as they try to snap an eight game slide.

The Reds though have seen the total go UNDER in seven of their last nine in trying to revenge a ten runs or greater road loss against an opponent.

Tyler Greene (1-3, 6.00 ERA), gets the call for the Reds. He most recently allowed four runs over five innings with six strikeouts in a loss to the Rockies.

Adrian Houser (2-2, 2.53), counters for the Brewers. He pitched last friday and wnt six shutout innings vs. the Cubs.

The overall situation points to a classic "duel" between these two competent pitchers. As mentioned above, off yesterday's huge offensive outburst, expect today's contest to be decided by the men on the mound.

This number is high, the play is the UNDER.

Good luck, NP
