DL Hall is going to be on the mound for the Milwaukee Brewers in this game, and he is 1-0 with a 1.69 ERA so far this season. Hall doesn't have a big resume in Major League Baseball and he could struggle on the road in this game.

Christian Yelich has been on a tear over the last 10 days and he now leads the team with 13 home runs and 41 RBIs. Milwaukee struggled at the plate on Tuesday and that might continue in this game.

The Reds will have Andrew Abbott starting in this matchup and he is a perfect 5-0 with a 1.51 ERA this season. Abott was dominant in the month of May and that trend should continue in this game.

Elly De La Cruz leads Cincinnati with 12 home runs and 43 RBIs, and he will have another big game in this one. Look for Abbott and the Reds to take complete control of this matchup.
