Friday MLB Free Pick
(The Spread) – Can the Reds snap out of their latest funk when they host the Giants tonight at 7:05PM ET?
Odds: Oddsmakers from online sports book Bodog have made the Giants –104 money line favorites over the Reds, who are –102 on the ML. The over/under for tonight’s game is currently 9 runs.
Pitching Matchup: Ryan Vogelsong will take on Dontrelle Willis in tonight’s pitching matchup. The All-Star Vogelsong is 8-1 on the year with a 2.10 ERA while Willis is 0-1 with a 3.71 ERA in just 17 innings pitched this season.
Public Betting: Of the 7,700-plus wagers on tonight’s game, 78% of the MLB betting public favors the Giants –104.
MLB Free Pick: Take San Francisco. With the way Vogelsong has pitched this season, getting the Giants (a team that just took two of three in Philadelphia) at –104 is a nice buy. The Reds, meanwhile, have lost four in a row and can’t seem to rekindle the same magic they had in their playoff run last season. According to latest MLB trends, the Reds are 0-4 in their last four home games and 1-6 in their last seven games as an underdog. The Giants, on the other hand, are 7-1 in Vogelsong’s last eight starts as a favorite and 5-1 in his last six starts against the NL Central.
