Cincinnati Reds Betting Preview
The Reds just wrapped up their four-game series with the Milwaukee Brewers, where they went 1-3. Their recent battle was Game 4, where the Brewers won 8-2. The Reds are 1-4 overall in their last five games and need to find consistency soon.
Matt McClain leads with three home runs, while TJ Friedl leads with a batting average of .289. On top of that, Elly De La Cruz leads with 10 RBIs. It will not take long for Elly to rank first in all of those for the team, especially with his strong performances at the plate.
Hunter Greene (0-1) is potentially the starter on the mound with an ERA of 2.25 and a WHIP of 0.67. If he can get them going defensively for the first handful of innings, the Reds have a great shot at success.
The Reds are putting up a .215 batting average and are allowing their opponents to reach .193. This is a razor thin differential, which does not offer a lot of breathing room for their chances at success.
San Francisco Giants Betting Preview
The Giants have won their last seven games and have just finished their three-game series with the Seattle Mariners. Their recent success was in Game 3 with a final score of 5-4.
Wilmer Flores leads with four home runs, 12 RBIs, and a knack for getting the offense moving along. Jung Hoo Lee currently leads with a batting average at .321. Both will need to be in good shape to have a good game here.
Logan Webb (1-0) is getting the start on the mound, as he currently puts up a 3.00 ERA and a 1.17 WHIP. Through just 12 innings so far, he has done a great job for their defense.
The Giants have been averaging .241 at the plate while their defense is allowing .224 from opposing teams each game. While this has not affected them too much this season, it could potentially indicate losses in close games.
