Reds vs Mariners prediction
You can make a case for the Reds and the plus money because their offense has been hot all season and Andrew Abbott has been sharp through 17.1 innings. However, the Mariners are showing signs of getting their act together these last few games and Bryce Miller has been lights out lately. In his last 13.1 innings, Miller has allowed 6 hits and 0 earned runs while striking out 11. Quick turnaround, the Mariners have a red-hot pitcher and all of the momentum heading into this game. I’ll lay the cheap price with the Mariners at home.
