Reds vs Marlins Prediction
The Reds have won their last three meetings against the Marlins but both teams are tied 5-5 in their last 10 meetings.
In this Reds vs Marlins Prediction, the Marlins are coming as -125 home favorites. The Reds have now won four straight and are putting Abbott on the mound, who had 4 earned runs in his second start of the season. On the flip side, Sandy Alcantara has been unhittable this season for the Marlins, who also have a better offense, scoring more runs per game and also have a better batting average, OBP and Slugging percentage, so I like them as small home favorites in this spot. Take the Marlins on the moneyline for the bounce-back win.
