Giants vs Reds Prediction & Pick
This game could be decided by which team gets the better starting pitching performance. The Giants' Anthony DeSclafani has only gotten worse as the 2023 campaign goes on. After going 4-4 with a 3.48 ERA in his first 11 starts, DeSclafani is only 0-4 while playing to a 6.92 ERA in his last six.
Luke Weaver hasn't exactly provided the Reds with a reliable mound presence, either. Not only has the 29-year-old veteran won just once in his previous 11 starts, but he's also pitched to an 8.86 ERA in his last five appearances.
At the end of the day, I predict that the Giants will emerge victorious. They haven't lost in six consecutive outings while only allowing an average of 2.3 runs per game. Meanwhile, the Reds are winless in their previous five matchups, scoring just five total runs over that stretch,
Even if the Reds' bats pick up the slack, the Giants are the better, deeper team. Back San Francisco to win again in its quest to close the NL West gap.
Final Score Prediction:'Giants: 8 | Reds: 6
Giants vs Reds Best Bet
I'm taking the Over on the 10.5-run total for tonight's best bet. It helps that DeSclafani's previous seven road starts have seen an average of 9.3 total runs while Weaver's last seven overall saw 14.1.
After three of the last four Giants-Reds matchups saw double-digit run totals, I expect a fair amount of fireworks this evening.
