Marlins at Reds Prediction: Odds, expert picks, starting pitchers, betting trends, and stats for July 7

The Marlins are struggling lately, losing two out of three against the Brewers and only winning 2 of their last 5 games. Conversely, the Reds have also been faltering, with two straight series losses. With Janson Junk’s solid performance against Brady Singer, punters may want to consider betting on the Reds to win but potentially leaning towards the Marlins to cover the spread at +1.5. The highlight is as follows:

It's Monday, July 7 and the Marlins (40-48) are in Cincinnati to take on the Reds (46-44). Janson Junk is slated to take the mound for Miami against Brady Singer for Cincinnati.

After going on a season-long eight-game winning streak, the Marlins are 2-3 in the past five games and coming off a series where they lost two out of three to the Brewers. However, Miami travels to Cincinnati where who they beat two out three times earlier this season.

For the Reds, they've dropped two straight series and the past two games losing by a combined 8-2 to the Phillies. Cincinnati is 2-4 over the last six games, but hosts the Marlins in a four-game series before a three-game set with the Rockies before entering the All-Star break, which is an ideal setup.
