Brewers vs Reds Prediction 13 September 2026
📡 Milwaukee have already secured their playoff spot, but that hasn’t slowed them down one bit. After Friday’s 20-0 rout, the Brewers once again dismantled Cincinnati’s pitching staff, coming out on top 13-9. That’s 33 runs scored by the hosts over two nights and two very different wins: first a complete blowout, then a high-scoring shootout after the Reds clawed their way back. The series finale sees Cincinnati turn to their ace, Chase Burns, but Milwaukee counters with Kyle Harrison and heads into the game with a 93-56 record.
Head-to-Head
📊 The Brewers have taken seven of the last ten head-to-head matchups in this series. During that stretch, Milwaukee posted wins by scores of 20-0, 13-9, 10-7, 7-2, 6-5, 5-3, and 4-2. Cincinnati did manage to claim two games just a week ago, but the shift to Milwaukee has dramatically swung the momentum back to the hosts-who are once again dictating play thanks to their roster depth and a deeper pitching staff.
Head-to-head statistics Brewers - Reds
Milwaukee Brewers Team Overview
The Brewers boast the best record in MLB and are 52-25 at home. After racking up 23 hits on Friday, they followed up with another 14 on Saturday. Bryce Turang and Garrett Mitchell each launched two-run homers in the first inning, and after Cincinnati clawed back to tie it at 5-5, Milwaukee immediately responded with three runs in the fourth and five more in the fifth. This resilience defines the team right now: even when they squander a big lead, they never lose their grip on the game.
Match Results: Milwaukee Brewers
Cincinnati Reds Team Overview
The Reds have slipped to 69-79 and are now riding a five-game losing streak. After being shut out 0-20, their offense bounced back with nine runs on 14 hits, but even that wasn’t enough. The main issue lies on the mound: following a 14-run drubbing by the Dodgers, Cincinnati’s pitchers then conceded 20 and 13 runs to Milwaukee. Over their last three games, Reds pitchers have surrendered a staggering 47 runs, and while Burnes delivered one strong start, his departure has left the entire pitching staff in disarray.

⚾ Starting Pitchers
Kyle Harrison gets the nod for the home side-he’s 10-4 with a 3.66 ERA. The lefty has put together a steady season and finds himself in a favorable spot: Milwaukee have built big leads early in back-to-back games. Harrison doesn’t need to deliver seven flawless innings-his job is simply to keep the hosts in contention until the bullpen takes over.
Chase Burns starts for Cincinnati-he’s 15-3 with a 2.73 ERA and 176 strikeouts. He’s the visitors’ biggest weapon and presents a much tougher challenge for Milwaukee’s lineup than the last two starters they faced. Still, even if Burns turns in a strong six innings, that leaves the final three for a bullpen that’s just come off two straight taxing outings.
⭐ Editor’s Prediction
Burnes has the potential to slow down the breakneck pace of the opening two games, but Milwaukee don’t need another double-digit score to secure a win here. The Brewers have claimed seven of the last ten head-to-head matchups, boast a 52-25 home record, and have already racked up 33 runs in just two games this series. Cincinnati have dropped five straight, with their pitching staff enduring a brutal stretch. Harrison, sporting a 3.66 ERA, gives the hosts a solid foundation on the mound, and once Burnes exits, Milwaukee’s superior bullpen depth should take over. Our pick: Milwaukee Brewers to win.
