The Miami Marlins have a 6-4 record this season and are sitting in the first place of the NL East. They have a 5-2 home record and are coming off a 0-2 home loss against the Reds. Their previous three games were a 7-6 road win, a 7-9 road loss, and a 2-8 road loss against the Yankees.
The Marlins have a .260 batting average this season, .335 OBP and .416 Slugging percentage. Miami’s pitching staff has a 3.89 ERA and 1.17 WHIP. Xavier Edwards is the team’s best hitter with a .432 batting average. Liam Hicks leads the team in RBI with 12, also adding a team-high 3 home runs.
Sandy Alcantara (R) is the projected starting pitcher for the Marlins, and he has a 2-0 record, 0.00 ERA and 0.56 WHIP.
The Cincinnati Reds have a 7-3 record this season and are sitting in the second place of the NL Central. They have a 4-0 road record and are coming off a 2-0 road win against the Marlins. They won their previous three road games against the Rangers by scores of 2-1, 2-0, and 5-3.

Sal Stewart is the team’s best hitter with a .353 batting average. Eugenio Suarez leads the team in RBI with 7, and Elly De La Cruz adds a team-high 3 home runs.
Andrew Abbott (L) is the projected starting pitcher for the Reds, and he has a 0-1 record, 3.09 ERA and 1.37 WHIP.
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.
