Marlins vs Reds Prediction
The current betting odds have the Reds listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Reds have looked good in their games this season with their 46-46 record overall, but that record has them right near the bottom of the NL Central in a competitive division. They have looked good in their own ballpark this year with their 24-21 home record. Meanwhile, the Marlins haven't looked great in their games this season with their 42-48 record overall which has them right near the bottom of the NL East. They have been a good road team though with their 22-21 road record this season. The Marlins have been red hot lately as they are 7-3 in their last 10 games while the Reds are 3-7 and have been in a slump, but the Reds do have the better pitching matchup here and can take advantage of that. The Reds are going with Lodolo in this one and he has looked good this season. He is 5-6 with a 3.58 ERA and hasn't been giving up as many runs lately. He did give up 3 earned runs in his last start, but he has looked a lot better at home this season and the team has still won 3 of their last 4 games with him starting. The Marlins are going with Quantrill in this one and he hasn't looked great this year. He is 3-7 with a 5.40 ERA and has been giving up quite a few runs lately. His team has won 4 games in a row now with him starting and he is coming off a good start in which he only gave up 2 earned runs, but that hasn't been a common theme for him this year and the Reds will be looking to break out of this slump. This is a good situation for the Reds to get a much needed bounce back win at home. The best way to place a bet here is on the Reds to win this game.
