Season series: Tied 1-1

Reds at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 3, Reds 2

Moneyline

The GIANTS (-130) should hand Cincinnati its 10th loss in 11 games. Harrison has allowed a total of just 1 ER over his last 3 starts and should have no trouble vs. the worst-hitting team in MLB (.213 batting average).

BET GIANTS (-130).

Run line/Against the spread

The Reds are too expensive to take on the run line at -190, and betting the Giants (+155) to win by multiple runs seems aggressive. San Francisco is just 4-8 straight up over its last 12 games.

PASS. Bet the ML and/or total instead.

Over/Under

The Under has hit in both meetings in this series, as each game ended with 6 total runs. Harrison has allowed 1 ER over his last 18 innings, and the Reds offense has scored 3 or fewer in 7 of its last 9 games.

BET UNDER 7.5 (-105).

The Cincinnati Reds (16-21) and San Francisco Giants (17-22) open a 3-game set at Oracle Park Friday. First pitch is scheduled for 10:15 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Reds vs. Giants odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Giants won 4-3 last season

The Reds have lost 8 straight and are coming off a 5-4 home loss vs. the Arizona Diamondbacks Thursday with the total (9) pushing. SS Elly De La Cruz had 2 hits and his 22nd and 23rd stolen bases for the Reds, who failed to cash as -141 favorites.

The Giants lost 9-1 as -125 favorites at the Colorado Rockies Thursday with the Over (9.5) hitting. San Francisco had a 1-0 lead heading into the bottom of the 4th before Colorado jumped on RHP Keaton Winn, who allowed 7 runs on 8 hits in 3 2/3 innings.

Reds at Giants projected starters

LHP Andrew Abbott vs. RHP Logan Webb

Abbott (1-4, 3.32 ERA) makes his 8th start. He has a 1.16 WHIP, 2.6 BB/9 and 8.3 K/9 in 38 innings.

• Last start: Loss, 5 IP, 2 ER, 7 H, 0 BB, 8 K in 2-1 home defeat vs. Baltimore Orioles Saturday
• 2024 road stats: 1-2, 3.42 ERA (23 2/3 IP, 9 ER), 0.93 WHIP in 4 starts
• Career vs. Giants: 1-1, 2.38 ERA (11 1/3 IP, 3 ER), 0.97 WHIP in 2 starts

Reds at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 4, Reds 2

Moneyline

The Giants (-145) should hand Cincinnati its 9th straight loss with Webb on the mound in San Francisco. However, with how well the Giants right-hander has pitched at home this season, the run line at plus money is the more attractive play.

PASS. Bet the run line and/or total instead.

Run line/Against the spread

Webb has pitched 15 scoreless innings over his last 2 starts at Oracle Park. The Reds’ .211 batting average ranks last in the majors. They will struggle to score runs in the 1st 7 innings, and it’s unlikely that the Giants will score fewer than 4 runs for a 2nd straight game.

BET GIANTS -1.5 (+150).

Over/Under

The Under is 4-1-1 in the Reds’ last 6 games, and they’ve scored 2 runs or fewer in 5 of their last 7. Webb has struggled on the road this season, but the Under is 3-0 when he starts at home.

BET UNDER 7 (-115).

The Cincinnati Reds (68-66) have lost 2 straight games against the San Francisco Giants (69-63) and look to avoid being swept in the 3-game series Wednesday. First pitch from Oracle Park is set for 3:45 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Reds vs. Giants odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Giants lead 4-2

The Reds have dropped 5 of their last 6 games after starting a 10-game road trip with 3 straight wins. Cincinnati is 7 games back in the NL Central and is on the outside looking in for an NL Wild Card spot, 2 games back of the Giants.

The Giants recently went through a rough stretch where they went 5-14 over a 19-game span from Aug. 5-26. However, they have now won each of their last 3 games and they would land the final NL Wild Card spot in a tight race if the season ended today.

Reds at Giants projected starters

RHP Hunter Greene vs. RHP Logan Webb

Greene (2-6, 5.06 ERA) makes his 17th start. He has a 1.53 WHIP, 4.4 BB/9 and 12.2 K/9 through 80 IP.

• Last start: Loss, 3 2/3 IP, 5 ER, 5 H, 5 BB, 4 K in 10-8 road loss vs. the Arizona Diamondbacks Friday
• Has made 2 starts since missing a couple of months due to a hip injury, totaling 6 2/3 IP with 13 ER, 5 HR allowed and an ugly 8/8 K/BB
• 2023 road stats: 2-2, 3.93 ERA (52 2/3 IP, 23 ER) with 12.6 K/9 in 10 starts

Webb (9-10 3.51 ERA) makes his 28th start. He has a 1.10 WHIP, 1.4 BB/9 and 8.4 K/9 through 174 1/3 IP.

• Last start: Loss, 5 1/3 IP, 5 ER, 6 H, 1 BB, 1 K in 5-1 home loss vs. Atlanta Braves Friday
• 2023 home stats: 5-5, 2.48 ERA (90 2/3 IP, 25 ER) in 13 starts
• Career vs. Reds: 2-0, 0.90 ERA (20 IP, 2 ER) with 18/3 K/BB in 4 appearances (3 starts)
• 2023 vs. Reds: No-decision, 7 IP, 2 ER, 4 H, 0 BB, 7 K in 4-2 road loss on July 17

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Reds at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 5, Reds 4

Moneyline

Greene has been roughed up in each of his 2 starts since coming off of the IL. San Francisco’s offense has been pretty quiet lately, ranking 26th in wRC+ during August, though they have shown signs of life lately with 18 runs scored in their last 3 games.

Fade Greene until he shows he is back on track and BET GIANTS (-165).

Run line/Against the spread

The run line is tempting given the way Greene has been knocked around since his return, but the Giants have averaged just 3.35 runs per game over their last 36 contests.

While Webb has been rock-solid throughout the season, he hasn’t been as good lately, with a 4.79 ERA and 6.3 K/9 in his last 7 starts.

PASS on this one.

Over/Under

There probably won’t be a ton of offensive fireworks in this game, but neither of these starting pitchers has been at the top of their game lately. This number is just a little too low, as taking the under with Greene looking so shaky is a risky play. Make a small play on OVER 8 (+100).

Abbott (8-3, 3.16 ERA) makes his 16th start. The rookie has a 1.17 WHIP, 3.3 BB/9 and 9.8 K/9 in 85 1/3 innings.

• Last start: No-decision, 4 IP, 3 ER, 5 H, 4 BB, 5 K in 9-4 victory at Los Angeles Angels Wednesday

Reds at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Reds 4, Giants 2

Moneyline

The REDS (+115) have the advantage at starting pitcher and have been playing better than the Giants recently. Abbot has allowed more than 3 earned runs in just 3 of his 15 career starts, and San Francisco is averaging just 3.38 runs per game over its last 16 outings.

BET REDS (+115).

Run line/Against the spread

The Reds are 41-18 on the run line this season as road underdogs, according to TeamRankings.com. Cincinnati +1.5 (-185) will likely hit, but there’s no need to pay the higher price on the run line when the Reds should win straight up.

PASS. Bet the moneyline and/or the total instead.

Over/Under

The Under is 27-13-1 (67.5%) this season when the Giants are home favorites.

The Under has also hit in 3 of the 4 meetings between these teams this year and should cash again Monday as San Francisco’s offense continues to struggle.

LEAN UNDER 8 (+100).
