Cincinnati Reds vs San Francisco Giants Prediction
The Reds are better than what they’ve shown through their first 10 games but at some point, we need to see results. The Reds have scored three or fewer runs in seven of their 10 games and have 81 strikeouts. I don’t believe the Giants are as good as their record indicates but they’re rolling right now and are stringing together offense. Webb is also on the mound for the Giants, and through 68 starts at Oracle Park, he has a 2.78 ERA and 1.11 WHIP. This isn’t a spot where the Reds find their offensive spark. Give me the Giants and the reasonable price.
