"Fired on all cylinders..." - Reds
Milwaukee has been solid at home this year despite the loss, sporting a 37-27 record at American Family Field. Meanwhile, Cincinnati has been bad on the road, evidenced by their 27-41 away record.
Adrian Houser, who is 5-9 with a 4.83 ERA, will be on the hill Saturday for Milwaukee. The Reds offense ranks 17th in runs per game and 21st in OPS, but they did plate eight on Friday.
Recently, the right-hander's performances have been concerning, as he's allowed nine earned runs in his past 9 2/3 innings. Cincinnati has been pretty bad on the road offensively this season compared to when they're home, but they have hit Houser well this year.
Since the Reds are pretty familiar with Houser and the righty has been poor recently, expect the visitors to build on their solid hitting performance from the series opener.
Cincinnati's Chase Anderson gets the ball on Saturday night. He's gone 0-2 with a 12.60 ERA in limited innings, and he'll be making his third start. In Anderson's last two starts, the right-hander has been bad, giving up eight earned runs in his past eight innings. Expect Milwaukee to have a better day at the plate against Anderson and the Reds' pitching staff.
