They'll be desperate to snap that losing streak tonight as they try their best to get back in the playoff hunt in the National League.

Let's dive into the odds and my best bets for tonight's matchup.

Marlins vs. Reds Best MLB Prop Bet

• Sandy Alcantara OVER 2.5 Earned Runs Allowed (-135) via DraftKings

Sandy Alcantara has been horrific this season, sporting an ERA of 7.01 along with a WHIP of 1.442. He has also allowed 3+ earned runs in three straight starts. He has faced the Reds once already this season, giving up three earned runs in 6.0 innings pitched back on April 23.

Marlins vs. Reds Prediction and Pick

Based on the starting pitcher matchup, the Reds are the obvious play in this game. Sandy Alcantara (7.01 ERA) is set to take on one of the best pitchers in baseball this season in Andrew Abbott, who not only has a 2.15 ERA but a 7-1 record.

Even if Alcantara can survive his start, the Reds are going to have a chance to put up some late runs as the Marlins' bullpen ranks 21st in the Majors in ERA at 4.13.

I'll back Cincinnati to snap their losing streak tonight.

Pick: Reds -144 via DraftKings
