The Cincinnati Reds wrap their regular season on the road in Milwaukee today, doing so against a Brewers club that long ago clinched the NL Central title and a spot in the playoffs. With a win today, the Reds will join them in the postseason, though they can also sneak in if the New York Mets fall apart and lose to the Miami Marlins.
Thanks to the loss by the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday, the Brewers have already wrapped up the #1 seed on the National League side of the bracket. Ace Freddy Peralta is still slated to start for the Beers against the Reds today, but it remains to be seen how far he’ll be pushed as the Brewers look to get themselves set for the NLDS beginning at the end of next week.

Both the Mets/Marlins and Reds/Brewers games will commence at 3:10 PM ET, so we’ll have dualing action as the regular season wraps. The Reds will be starting Brady Singer, though it’s likely that most every single pitcher on the Cincinnati roster who can stand up and grip a baseball will be available in some form or fashion as the action picks up.
We’ll be following it all here and updating it as developments arise, so follow along with us!
