AFTERNOON ANNIHILATOR >> OFF A DEADLY 3-0 SWEEP IN THE BALLPARK
(MLB) Miami vs. Cincinnati,
Money Line: -141.00 Cincinnati (Home)
Result: Win
The set-up: Two struggling teams collide in the second game of a three game series. The Reds delivered a 14-0 beatdown in Game 1 and I think the home is primed to do it again here as well.

The pitchers: The Fish hand the ball to Trevor Richards (0-1, 3.00 ERA) who has two quality starts under his belt and nothing to show for it really. I think he'll have his hands full here vs. the hungry Reds line-up though.

The home side counters with Tyler Mahle (0-0, 0.00) who makes his second start after going six scoreless vs. the Pirates last Thursday.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but the Marlins are just 60-104 (-18.7 units) on the road, while the Reds are 7-2 in their last nine home games after winning and posting 12 or more runs in their previous outing. This line could easily be higher.
