The Miami Marlins take on the Cincinnati Reds for game three of a four-game series. The Marlins need to start winning if they want to make a push for the playoffs, and will look to start today by sending Braxton Garrett to the mound. The Reds will send out Luis Castillo, who could be making one of his final starts in a Red's uniform. Braxton Garrett is 2-3 this season with a 3.42 ERA in nine starts. Luis Castillo is 3-4 with a 2.77 ERA in seven starts. The Reds are 7-2 in their last nine home games while the Marlins are 3-6 in their last nine games. The Reds are 7-2 in their last nine games at home and have put up 6.5 runs a game in their last six games at home. Miami is just 3-6 in their last nine games overall and has struggled to score runs all season. Castillo could be showcasing his talents to a contending team so I expect a strong outing from him in this one.

Play on Cincinnati. This is a 7* play.
