The Reds have won three of the last four meetings between these teams and Mahle has proven to be the more effective and consistent pitcher this season compared to Houser. Houser is 1-3 with a 6.41 ERA and 1.61 WHIP in 6 lifetime starts against the Reds. Houser also struggles a bit in nighttime games where he has a 4.50 ERA in nine starts whereas Mahle has been great at night with a 2.28 ERA over eight starts.

The Reds are 6-1 in their last 7 games overall. The Brewers are coming off a double-header against the Mets yesterday in New York and will be a tired team. The Reds have a big edge on the rubber tonight with Tyler Mahle over Adrian Houser.

Take the Cincinnati Reds.
