Pitching Probables

Team Previews

Cincinnati Reds

The Reds have shown resilience this season, with a total of 923 hits and 419 runs scored. Their batting average of .238 places them in the middle tier, but they possess significant power, as evidenced by their ability to hit home runs. Their pitching staff has been relatively effective, ranking 26th in the league with an ERA of 4.52, but with Greene on the mound, they have a chance to keep the Marlins at bay.

Miami Marlins

The Marlins have struggled offensively this season, with a batting average of .230 and only 507 runs scored. However, they have had moments of brilliance, especially when they can score five or more runs, boasting a 25-13 record in those games. The bullpen has been a weakness, which could be a concern if the game remains close. Candelario's ability to get on base will be crucial for the Marlins to generate scoring opportunities.
