The San Francisco Giants will duke it out with the Cincinnati Reds in Thursday’s season-opener at Great American Ball Park.
The Giants missed the postseason last year with a 80-82 record, but they enter this season with the hope of contending with top teams in a brutally competitive NL West division. Justin Verlander will take his talent and experience to a fourth team after joining the Giants on a one-year deal. The Giants announced that Logann Webb would start for them in the season-opener.
The Reds ended their Spring Training with an emphatic 13-2 rout of the Cleveland Guardians. Cincinnati finished fourth in their division with a 77-85 record, extending their postseason drought to four years. Cincinnati expects immediate improvement this year after hiring two-time World Series-winning manager Terry Francona in October.

Our Cincinnati Reds vs San Francisco Giants Prediction
The Reds and the Giants have batted reasonably well in their last five games. Although Hunter Greene and Logan Webb are above-average starting pitchers, I expect the bats to dominate in this match with 10 mph winds forecasted to blow westward. In their last three meetings, San Francisco has averaged 5.00 runs while the Reds have scored 2.67 runs per game. Cincinnati’s runs per game against the Reds in these meetings are far from encouraging. However, I have great expectations that Cincinnati will transform into an exciting offensive team under Terry Francona this season. Our betting prediction for Cincinnati Reds vs. San Franciso Giants: Over 8.0 Runs
