REDS VS MARLINS PREDICTION

This Reds team is 5-0 against the Marlins this year and if you go back to 2019, the Reds have won 11 of their past 12 games against Miami. The Marlins have nothing to play for right now, but every game is crucial for the Reds. Cincinnati is 22-12 in their last 34 games, and the Marlins are 9-19 in the last 18 games. The Reds will send out Gutierrez, who in his last start against Miami only gave up one run in 7 innings in a Reds win. He has not given up more than two runs in any of his last 5 starts. Alcantara is 0-2 with a 3.60 ERA in four career appearances against the Reds, including two starts. This year, he is 0-1 with a 2.57 ERA against the Reds, losing to them 3-1 last Sunday. Look for the Reds to keep it rolling in this one as they continue their playoff push.
