Giants vs. Reds Betting Prediction
San Francisco starter Blake Snell tossed a no-hitter against Cincinnati on Friday night as the Giants toppled the Reds 3-0. Things might not be getting much easier for the Redlegs as they face Giants lefty Kyle Harrison on Saturday. In 4 starts in July, Harrison went 2-1 with a 2.66 ERA, a 22-11 strikeout-to-walk ratio, a 9.7 K/9, and a 1.08 WHIP. Harrison faced the Reds on May 12th of this season and completed 5 innings while allowing 3 runs on 3 hits and 5 walks. He struck out 5 batters in a 6-5 Giants win. I like the San Francisco pitching staff to stay hot and earn an outright win over Cincinnati at Great American Ballpark on Saturday night.
