Milwaukee vs. Cincinnati (Over 9.5)
(MLB) Milwaukee vs. Cincinnati,
Total: 9.50 | -120.00 Over
Result: Loss
The over is my bet on the total at 9.5 runs scored.

Abbott has surrendered six home runs in his last four outings after giving up zero in his first three starts. Milwaukee should have plenty of confidence on Saturday after roughing him up on July 7 when it handed him his first MLB loss. The Brew Crew scored 5.8 runs in their first nine games of the month before the break, as well.

In an important divisional series for both clubs, I expect the Reds' offense to show up, too. Cincy was hot at the plate just before the break, slashing .260/.362/.447/.810 (5.0 runs/game in July). It's hit pretty consistently against right-handed pitchers this season (.255/.338/.411/.750), too. Peralta records a lot of strikeouts, but he's also prone to the long ball. He's given up 16 HRs this season and at least one HR in 10 of his last 12 outings.

Bet on these offenses to push the total runs scored into double digits on Saturday at Great American Ball Park!
