Miami Marlins vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction

I’ll probably just stay with the Reds. Spiers had a rough outing in his last start versus the Tigers, posting a loss with four earned on eight hits and two walks in 4.2 innings. Prior to that however, Spiers was 2-0 with four earned in 12.0 innings over two starts.

On Thursday the Reds didn’t have a ton of issues, especially with Tyler Stephenson’s two homers and five RBI. Cincinnati should match up pretty well with the Marlins also, so if all goes well the Reds should emerge with another W on Friday.
