Cincinnati at Milwaukee

Cincinnati is 7-8 the last 15 games, winning four times as a dog, including a 6-1 win here yesterday. Joey Votto is batting .408 since the All-Star break and has lit up the Brewers this season with five homers and 15 RBIs in 18 games. Votto is batting .397 against Milwaukee in 2016 and has hit safely in six straight games overall while Reds shortstop Jose Peraza is 8-for-19 during a five-game hitting streak. Cincinnati's 23-year old lefty Brandon Finnegan makes his last start of the season throwing well, allowing two earned runs or less in eight of his last 10 starts, including the last six. Milwaukee winds up a lost season with an offense ranked #25 in runs scored and #20 in slugging. The Brewers have shaky Wily Peralta (7-10, 5.21 ERA) on the mound with batters hitting .310 off for the year. Milwaukee is 3-7 when Peralta starts against the NL Central, so grab the live dog. Play Cincinnati.
