Sunday’s MLB Free Pick
CINCINNATI, OH (The Spread) – The Cincinnati Reds are coming off an exciting 10-inning victory Saturday night over the visiting Florida Marlins. Can the Reds win the series Sunday afternoon?
Oddsmakers from online sports book SBGGLOBAL.com have made the Reds -110 favorites and the Marlins are +100 underdogs. The over-under is set at 8.5.
Getting the start for the Cincinnati Reds is Bronson Arroyo, who is 3-2 with a 3.64 earned-run average in five starts. Florida counters with Ricky Nolasco, who is 2-0 with a 3.24 ERA in five starts.
According to the latest trends, Nolasco is 1-1 with a 5.58 ERA in six appearances (five starts) versus Cincinnati. Arroyo has an 0-2 mark with a 4.29 ERA in nine appearances (six starts) against the Marlins.
Florida won game one in this series 7-6, while Cincinnati posted a 4-3 comeback win Saturday with Edgar Renteria notching the game-winning single in the 10th inning.
MLB Free Pick: In my eyes, Arroyo has become a fairly consistent pitcher for the Reds. I still don’t trust Nolasco despite his early success and the Reds should be raring to win this home series. Florida is overachieving a bit and Cincinnati should be ready for a move soon up the NL Central standings. Look for Cincinnati to chase Nolasco by the fifth or sixth inning and then get after the Marlins middle relievers. I’m rolling with the Reds -110 in this spot.
