Marlins vs Reds Prediction 

Cincinnati comes into this matchup after sweeping the Rangers over the weekend, but they have scored three runs or fewer in four of their last five games. The Reds are 3-0 on the road this year, while the Marlins are 5-1 at home. Miami was able to avoid being swept by the Yankees with a win on Sunday, but they allowed 23 runs in the series. I don’t love either pitcher, but this Cincinnati offense is very low scoring. Take the Marlins at home.
