The Cincinnati Reds face the Miami Marlins in the opener of a three-game series on Monday at 6:40 p.m. in Miami. Coming off a series win against Baltimore, the Reds (40-61) look to continue their momentum against the Marlins (47-55), who were just swept by the Mets.

Game Details:

  • Odds: Pick 'Em
  • Over/Under: 8.5 runs
  • Location: Miami, Florida

  • Marlins: 4-6 in last 10 games
  • Last Week's Series: Split 2-2 in Cincinnati

Pitching Matchup:

  • Reds: Hunter Greene (3-12, 5.59 ERA, 119 K)
