Milwaukee Brewers vs Cincinnati Reds 6/5/2023 Analysis, Tips and Picks
On Monday, June 5, 2023, at 7:10 PM ET, the Milwaukee Brewers and Cincinnati Reds will play in Major League Baseball action at Great American Ball Park in Ohio. The Brewers’ road adventure comes to an end as Teheran gets underway. To wrap off the series, Julio Teheran will start for the Brewers. Teheran made two appearances, excelling in each of them. In his first start of the year, he limited the Giants to just one run across five innings. He was even better in his follow-up start, allowing only one run (zero earned) across six innings against a potent Blue Jays lineup to secure the win. Despite not pitching in the major leagues in 2018, the seasoned right-hander had several great seasons with the Braves earlier in his career. In nine games against the Reds in his career, he has a 4.14 ERA and a 3-4 record. Milwaukee will end a seven-game road trip in this contest. The Brewers had only scored seven runs overall in their previous three games against the Blue Jays, losing two of those contests. Despite being an issue the whole season, the offense is starting to gel in this matchup. The Brewers have a 5-5 record over their past ten games. In the NL Central, the Milwaukee Brewers are first.
Surprisingly, Brian Anderson leads the Brewers in RBIs. The former Marlins slugger has only two RBIs in his previous six games despite having 30 RBIs and a.739 OPS for the season. Anderson is 0 for 9 with no RBIs in this series. Willy Adames and Luis Urias are still working on the IL. With an average of 4.08 runs scored per game, Milwaukee is ranked 25th. With a 4.09 team ERA, the pitching staff is ranked thirteenth overall.

After being called up, Andrew Abbott will make his MLB debut on Monday night. Abbott had solid stats over his three seasons in the minor levels.
