With a record of 40-61, the Cincinnati Reds face the Miami Marlins tonight. Coming off a 2-1 series win against the Orioles, Cincinnati will look to keep the winning streak going. Unfortunately, they’ll be starting the 3-12 Hunter Greene, Greene has an ERA of 5.59 over 96.2 innings. With him on the mound, the chances for the Reds to win drop dramatically.

The Miami Marlins are coming off of three straight losses, each to the New York Mets. With their record falling to 47-55, they’ll definitely look to bounce back tonight. This matchup is great for the Marlins since they’re starting Jesus Luzardo. Luzardo has a record of 2-3 with a 4.03 ERA this season. Between these two, the Marlins are the better bet.


New York Mets vs. Washington Nationals – 7:05 PM ETmets vs nationals baseball betting

Taking on the Nationals won’t be an easy feat, however. As a team, the Washington Nationals are batting .246 this season. The Mets, however, have a significant lead in that regard at .256. The 4-14 Patrick Corbin is getting the not to start the game for the Nationals today. With the Mets on a hot streak, we’ll take New York -267.

Although the Red Sox has the advantage at the plate, the Astros have the advantage on the mound. Getting the start tonight is Luis Garcia, who has an 8-6 record with an ERA of 3.81 this season. The Astros have won three of their last five games, three of which were against the Seattle Mariners. It’s a risky pick but we’ll take the Boston Red Sox at +158.

Although the Rockies don’t excel on the mound, they’re pretty great at the plate. This season, the Rockies have a team batting average of .261. This average is far better than the Padres’ .240 and San Diego isn’t starting one of their better pitchers. On the mound tonight is Mike Clevinger, who has a 2-3 record with a 3.38 ERA.
