Miami Marlins vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction

I might take a stab on the Marlins. Munoz has a couple of pretty good starts and one bad one in his last three outings, going 5.0 innings each time. In the two good ones Munoz put up three earned in 10.0 innings. In the other, he went 5.0 innings with six earned on six hits and two walks. If Munoz can manage a quality start here Miami should be set up well.

On Sunday the Marlins had one big inning—six runs in the fourth—and pitched well enough to finish off the victory. The pen was great on 4.0 innings, three hits and one walk. Everyone but Jesus Sanchez (0-for-5) got on base as well. I could see the Marlins keeping things rolling Monday after a fairly decent weekend series versus a good Braves team.
