5 minCincinnati Reds vs. Miami Marlins Prediction: Will Johnny Cueto Limit the Reds?
Johnny Cueto has missed a majority of the season through injury and has just recently returned. He has made four starts since coming back from his injury and has been a very reliable starter. He has gone over his outs line in three straight starts and has a prime matchup to do it again. Can Cueto continue his strong comeback tour post-injury?

Cincinnati Reds vs. Miami Marlins Prediction
Johnny Cueto has hit his outs line in three straight games (16.5). He is going up against a Cincinnati Reds lineup who are dead last in wrC+ and on base percentage against right handed pitchers in the last month. The Miami Marlins have used SIX bullpen arms in the last two days and could really use a good start here by Cueto to lift the load off of them.
If you go back to last year, Cueto has hit this line in 77% of all games, 23 of his last 30 games overall. The matchup plus his consistency and return to form has me quite excited for his start against the Reds today.
