Cincinnati Reds vs San Francisco Giants Prediction
The Reds have lost 4 of the last 5 games Singer has pitched, and he’s allowed 26 hits and 13 runs in his last 24 innings. Houser has been arguably the best starting pitcher in the month of August, allowing 12 hits and 1 run in 16.1 innings. Houser has allowed a combined 2 earned runs in his last 25 innings. This is the best Houser has looked in his career. Is he having a breakthrough at 33 years old? Yeah… I’m taking the Giants at home at the soft price.
