This is an 8* play on MILWAUKEE

We've misfired with Milwaukee each of the last two days and now the Brewers find themselves simply trying to avoid a sweep at the hands of the last place Reds. Being that this series is being contested at Miller Park, the predicament that the home team finds itself in is one we couldn't have fathomed. Coming into the series, the Reds record on the road was just 19-29. Milwaukee had been 30-21 at home. It seemed as if the Brewers had the starting pitching edge each of the previous two games and again that certainly appears to be the case. The Reds are going with Sims, who has made only one start in 2019 and it was back in May when he allowed four runs in 7 1/3 innings vs. Pittsburgh. The Brewers have Chacin set to take the mound and while he got rocked in his last start, the three before that all saw him give up two runs or less. One of those three was against Cincinnati as he finished with eight strikeouts in six innings and gave up just two runs. The Reds are 13-29 day games. The Brewers are 24-13. Play on MILWAUKEE
