Reds vs Brewers Prediction, Betting Analysis
It’s early, but the Brewers lineup collectively ranks bottom-six in strikeouts (10.29). Yet, tonight projections support the Brew Crew bats in a way, offering an edge on Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Nick Martinez staying under his strikeout total tonight when the NL Central foes meet for the second game of this four-game series.
Martinez’ strikeout line is 4.5, with the under priced +105 (best odds at bet365). Action MLB projections only estimate a fair total of 4.3 strikeouts for Martinez, meaning the plus-money price attachment is an attractive grab.
Martinez was admittedly great last year at limiting hard hit contact and walks, while also boasting a solid xERA.
However, the 34-year-old isn’t very overpowering, averaging lower-90s on his fastball. The right-hander also was below average and close to poor in whiff% and K%.
Milwaukee’s now playing its fifth straight home game. Batter’s eye boost and home-field comfort at American Family Field only provide added support.
Martinez under the total of 4.5 strikeouts and plus money is one of the better edges for strikeout props on Friday’s card when using our data.
Pick: Nick Martinez Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+105)
