Our San Francisco Giants vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction
This game will go one of three ways: (1) someone’s lineup is going to wake up against the other’s hittable pitcher and that team will win the game and probably cover the run line, (2) both lineups will take advantage of weak pitching and they’ll combine for enough runs to go OVER the total, or (3) despite lackluster pitching, both lineups will continue to struggle at the plate, resulting in a low scoring game (so bet the UNDER). I’m less impressed with the lineups than the pitchers, so I’m taking the UNDER.
Our Cincinnati vs. San Francisco Pick: UNDER 8
