Miami Marlins vs Cincinnati Reds

Miami Marlins at Cincinnati Reds (2026-08-15). Ryan Gusto vs Brady Singer at Great American Ball Park.

Starters — Ryan Gusto enters with a 4.78 ERA and 1.33 WHIP across 49 innings, with 7.9 K/9, 2.57 BB/9, and 1.1 HR/9. His last three starts were mixed: 4 IP, 2 ER, 4 K, 1 BB; 6 IP, 1 ER, 5 K, 0 BB; and 5 IP, 6 ER, 3 K, 2 BB. The recent form is uneven, but two of those three outings were serviceable despite the listed downward trend. Brady Singer has a 4.66 ERA and 1.43 WHIP over 119.2 innings, with 7.52 K/9, 3.01 BB/9, and a higher 1.65 HR/9. His last three starts were 6 IP, 3 ER, 3 K, 1 BB; 6 IP, 3 ER, 6 K, 3 BB; and 4.1 IP, 4 ER, 3 K, 4 BB. Singer has been more stable in his two most recent turns after a shorter, less efficient outing before that, though his trend is also marked down.

Teams — Miami brings the stronger offensive profile with a .726 OPS, .249 average, and 535 runs scored. The Marlins also own the better run prevention numbers, carrying a 3.96 team ERA and 1.25 WHIP, although their recent form is just 4-6 over the last 10 games. Cincinnati has a .701 OPS, .227 average, and 497 runs scored, so the lineup has been less productive overall. On the mound, the Reds have a 4.47 team ERA and 1.40 WHIP, both weaker than Miami’s season marks, but they have played better lately at 6-4 in their last 10. From a betting perspective, Miami shows the cleaner season-long statistical edge, while Cincinnati’s recent stretch suggests slightly better short-term momentum.
