◆ Matchup preview
Milwaukee Brewers at Cincinnati Reds (2026-06-22). Brandon Woodruff vs Brady Singer at Great American Ball Park.
Brandon Woodruff enters this contest with a 3.60 ERA and 1.03 WHIP over 30 innings pitched this season, demonstrating solid control with a 7.5 K/9 and 2.1 BB/9. His ERA trend is currently up, and he has a quality start percentage of 33.3. Brady Singer, on the other hand, has struggled more significantly, carrying a 5.32 ERA and 1.61 WHIP across 66 innings, with a 7.09 K/9 and a higher 3.14 BB/9. Singer's ERA trend is down, but his 33.3 quality start percentage matches Woodruff's, indicating inconsistency for both starters in achieving deep outings.
The Brewers' offense has been more productive, boasting a .734 OPS and scoring 397 runs, supported by a .256 batting average and .340 on-base percentage. Their pitching staff has been strong, with a 3.45 ERA and 1.19 WHIP, along with an impressive 9.88 K/9. The Reds' offense lags behind, with a .706 OPS and 325 runs scored, hitting .229 with a .311 OBP. Cincinnati's pitching has a higher 4.58 ERA and 1.46 WHIP, allowing 103 home runs compared to Milwaukee's 72.
Recent head-to-head matchups between these two teams have seen Milwaukee hold a slight edge, winning 8 of the last 13 encounters. The total line for this game is set at 9.5, which aligns with the Reds' higher team ERA and the potential for runs at Great American Ball Park, despite Woodruff's generally better season numbers. Singer's higher ERA and WHIP suggest he could be susceptible to the Brewers' more potent offense, potentially contributing to a higher-scoring affair.
