Though the Brewers are a whopping 27-4 in their last 31 games, the three-game series with the Reds begins a stretch of 19 games in 18 days. And though the Brewers are 37-21 against teams over .500 — including 9-0 against the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Philadelphia Philles — the next three weeks could be their toughest span of the season.

The Brewers are favored (-141 moneyline odds to win) when they visit the Reds (+119). The Reds will give the start to Nick Martinez (10-9, 3.10), but the Brewers' starting pitcher is yet to be determined for this game.

The Brewers are in hamburger heaven. The team picked up its 12th straight win on Wednesday in a 12-5 victory over the Pirates, securing free burgers for the entire state of Wisconsin from local chain George Webb and putting the Brewers on the cusp of tying a franchise record for consecutive wins.

The Brewers came to close to winning free burgers earlier this season when they had an 11-game winning streak from July 6 to July 21, but lost the 12th game 1–0 to the Mariners. They have won free burgers for fans twice, in 1987 and 2018.

The first time the chain paid up was 1987, when the Brewers won 13 straight games, and 168,000 burgers were given out.
