Game 3 of the Reds vs the Giants.  The Giants got Game 1, but the Reds stole Game 2. This series is a testament to the fact that the Giants have dropped off from their last season finish and will not come close to it this season.  The Giants have suffered injuries to important guys like SS Brandon Belt and a few quality pitchers… The Reds have no excuse.. They are just a bad team waiting to spring.  Yet the Reds won one.  The Great betting opportunity here is on the Giants.  The Sportsbooks will take the last win for the Reds into account and you can profit off of it.

A National League matchup between the NL Central worst and the NL West’s middle.  These teams are not terribly close… but the Giants have some issues.  The Reds are only issues… who will play?... Have you ever heard of him?.  However these are the games that bettors look for… where a disappointing better team starts a mook against a bad team and levels the playing field.  Vegas will give you a big payday to bet on the Reds… The Giants are not pushing to win from every angle.  The any given Sunday rule means simply that the Reds could take it… and the payoff is worth the gamble.  

The Cincinnati Reds are on a 6-game losing streak.  They have only won 3 of their last 10 games.  In gambling parlance they are due.  They went 0-2 against the Los Angeles Dodgers, 0-3 to the Milwaukee Brewers, 3-1 against the Arizona Diamondbacks, and 0-1 against the ASt Louis Cardinals.  So, in the stretch they have only beaten the Arizona Diamondbacks. 

The San Francisco Giants have won 6 of their last ten games.  They went 1-2 against the Atlanta Braves, 2-1 against the Pittsburgh Pirates, 2-1 against the Kansas City Royals, and 0-1 against the Los Angeles Dodgers.  The Giants win and lose and hang in the 3rd place of the NL West spot.  The Reds have a clear chance in Game 1 because the Giants are taking a deep breather after facing the Braves over the last 3 games.

The Reds are 23-45 on the season, 35-30-3 O/U, 11-23 on the road.

The Giants are 38-29 on the season, 33-31-3 O/U, 19-15 on the road.

The Reds are 18th in scoring with 4.31 runs per game, 21st in batting average with .237, and 21st in OBP with .307.  The bats need a wake up call.

The Giants are 4th in scoring with 4.91 runs per game, 17th in batting average with .240, and 5th in OBP with .324.  The bats are scattered throughout the line-up.

The Reds are 30th in team ERA with 5.31… This is why starting this kid with a big arm is important.  27th in WHIP with 1.42, and the fielders are 18th in errors with 39 on the season so far.  The Reds pitching gives up runs… any game they don’t they win… which has only been 23 so far on the season.

The Giants are 15th in Team ERA with 3.94, 16th in WHIP with 1.26, and the fielders are 15th in errors with 37 on the season so far.  The pitching is what needs the big boost.  The Giants are leaving wins on the table since they are 4th in scoring… but 3rd in their division.  They should leave no rock unturned while looking for a guy who can fill a starter spot.

Our prediction for Sunday, June 26th is…  Giants 5 - Reds 23

The Giants lost one but are still due. If these teams played 10 times the numbers say the Giants would win 8 of them.  So bet like Game 2 was an anomaly.  Because it was.  Take the $$.  If you bet on the last game because of my prediction… bet triple your normal amount so we can be friends later.
