Marlins vs Reds Prediction
You can make a case for the Reds and the plus money because they’re the better team on paper, and Singer has been better than Alcantara so far this season. However, the Reds continue to underachieve, and they haven’t looked good in this series.
The Marlins continue to hit the ball well and are surprisingly hovering around a .500 record. Also, Alcantara is still one of the best pitchers in baseball despite his early struggles. Additionally, most of Alcantara’s struggles have come on the road this season, as he’s allowing a .182 batting average and has 12 strikeouts in 15.1 home innings. Give me the Marlins and the cheap price on Wednesday afternoon.
