Reds at Marlins picks and predictions
Prediction
Reds 4, Marlins 3
Money line
The Reds are a lean. Ashcraft has pitched through the traffic of a .318 batting average on balls in play and is perhaps underrated by his surface numbers. Cincinnati owns a .751 OPS in the second half, and the Reds are an above-average on-base group against lefty pitchers.
LEAN TO THE REDS (+105).

Run line/Against the spread
PASS: too much juice to overcome.
Over/Under
The Cincy bullpen figures to be underrated by shaky surface numbers and has been coming around a little. Both starting pitchers have worked around high BABIP figures.
The Miami offense is helping just about any Under play two-thirds of the way to profit.
BACK THE UNDER 7.5 (-115). But consider a partial-unit play on pricing more than -110.
