Vegas Play of the Day: Reds at Marlins

We’re entering the fourth season of the annual South Point-lined Play of the Day competition, effective July 1.

Starting bankrolls have reset to $10,000, with the maximum bet being to win $1,000 and the minimum wager $300. Ray Brewer won back-to-back titles in the 2015-2016 and 2016-17 seasons, after Taylor Bern prevailed in 2014-2015.

Miami Marlins minus-130 vs. Cincinnati Reds, $650 to win $500: My intention is to bet against Cincinnati frequently in the final two months of the baseball season. The Reds enter tonight with a 41-60 record and its pitching staff is a mess — it ranks 30th in earned run average at 5.27 and 24th in opponent batting average at .266.

Miami scored 22 runs on Wednesday off Texas ace Yu Darvish, who is one of the best pitchers in baseball. One of the golden rules in handicapping is the play the team on a hot streak. That’s Miami.

It’s an added bonus that the Marlins are facing the lowly Reds.

Current Standings: Granger (4-2, $12,557), Keefer (4-1, $11,095), Grimala (1-1, $10,010), Brewer (2-2, $10,000)
