Miami Marlins vs. Cincinnati Reds Best Picks

Joey Votto, who is usually one of the only things Reds fans have to be excited about, is having an off season. The Gold Glover has a slash line of .213/.322/.382. Statistically, this could be the worst season of his career. However, he is an x-factor and is always a threat at home.

Ashcraft is anything but reliable, and Castano is very young. Two starters like that are liable to give up quite a few runs, and they likely will come early. There's no telling which team will strike first, so bettors should look to the YRFI.

A Run to be Scored in the First Inning (-125)

Miami Marlins vs. Cincinnati Reds Prediction

When two pitchers of this caliber are facing off, it's typical for one to get lit up and the other to have a phenomenal game. The tricky part comes in predicting which starter will take which role. Bettors with an inkling can take the over on one team's total runs scored, but the safe play is the over.

Over 9.5 Runs (+100)

Unless Joey Votto posts a TikTok today, they'll have another notch in the loss column. Ashcraft is unreliable, and Miami should be able to land a series split. They'll be disappointed to leave Cincinnati without a series win.

Miami (+116)
