Milwaukee Brewers vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction

I’m on the Reds here. I understand why the Brewers would be favored being at home here, but in my eyes, Wilson is the weak link of Milwaukee’s rotation and is a guy I’m not really looking to back if I can help it, especially with how hot the Reds have been on the other side. I think Cincinnati gets another win here and Abbott pitched very well against the Brewers last season and I like him to lead the Reds to the W. Give me Cincinnati.
