The Seattle Mariners and Cincinnati Reds continue their interleague series on Wednesday at Great American Ball Park. First pitch is scheduled for 6:40 p.m. ET; the game will be broadcast on FS1.
The Mariners were roughed up in the series opener on Tuesday — should we expect the same on Wednesday when Bryce Miller takes on Nick Martinez?
Continue below for my Mariners vs Reds prediction for Wednesday, which is a pick on the moneyline.

Alex Kolodziej’s Mariners vs Reds Preview
[subheader sizedown=”true” center=”false” text=”Mariners-Reds Betting Preview: The ML Bet to Make” logo1url=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/mlb/100/sea.png” link1=”https://www.actionnetwork.com/mlb/odds/seattle-mariners” link1follow=“false” logo2url=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/mlb/100/cin.png” link2=”https://www.actionnetwork.com/mlb/odds/cincinnati-reds” link2follow=”true”][/subheader]
For the best bet in the second game of the Mariners vs. Reds series on Wednesday, consider taking the Reds on the moneyline.
Cincinnati is currently listed as an underdog, but starting pitcher Nick Martinez faces Bryce Miller from Seattle, and the matchup favors the Reds.
Seattle has struggled on the road this season, starting out with an 0-4 record.
The odds list the Mariners at -120 and the Reds at +100, yet our proprietary PRO Projections and MLB experts actually see the Reds as the favorites, estimating their fair line at -113.
Furthermore, top experts in the Action App are also backing the Reds. This combination of expert analysis and projection data makes Cincinnati a strong pick today.
Our MLB odds page also shows another sneaky way to increase the edge. For example, while the consensus price lists Cincinnati at even money, other shops like BetRivers are at +104.
Pick: Reds ML +104
