First pitch is scheduled for 5:10 p.m. ET on Bally Sports Ohio and Bally Sports Florida. Miami looks for a series sweep after Wednesday’s 7–2 win, while the Reds seek to rebound behind ace Nick Lodolo, who’s nearly six full innings into a stellar season.

  • Nick Lodolo (8–2, ~2.96 ERA) continues his impressive season, allowing just 3 ER over 6 innings in his last outing.
  • Cal Quantrill (6–7, ~5.40 ERA) has struggled with command issues, lasting only 3.2 innings last time.
  • Series stands at 2–1 Reds, but Miami took the latest game 7–2; total is set at 9 runs, leaning to a low-scoring contest.

Miami Marlins Player Prop Pick: Cal Quantrill

The Marlins are now 42–49 and riding momentum from their latest win. Their rotation features young arms like Bryan Cabrera and Braxton Garrett (on IL), with Quantrill holding down today’s start. Offensively, Miami struggles in power but gets production from prospects like Sandy Alcántara’s rehab footsteps and Agustin Ramirez.

  • Quantrill has poor command and hasn’t struck out more than 4 batters per outing lately.
  • Facing a Reds lineup that makes solid contact when poised.
  • A short outing from Quantrill likely limits strikeout volume.
Pick
Cal Quantrill Under 4.5 Strikeouts (–130)

Cincinnati Reds Player Prop Pick: Nick Lodolo

Cincinnati (47–46) has leaned on youth and pitching growth. Lodolo leads a staff that ranks among MLB’s top in run prevention. Offensively, Elly De La Cruz injects speed and power, while veterans like Tyler Stephenson and Matt McLain supply spark. Defense has improved, aiding their recent form.

  • Lodolo averages strong K rates and his slider is generating swings and misses.
  • Miami ranks low in contact, feeding his whiff potential.
  • Expect 6+ strong innings—a clear setup for this over.

Nick Lodolo Over 6.5 Strikeouts (+105)
