Reds vs Giants Betting Pick
This game will be played at Oracle Park at 7:15 PM ET on Saturday, June 25, 2022.
Why Bet The Giants:
✅ Mike Minor will take the mound for the Reds, looking to avoid his second straight defeat. Last Sunday, the 34-year-old left-hander yielded four earned runs on six hits and three walks across six innings of work in a 6-3 home loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. Minor has been pretty much a disaster through his four starts for the Reds in 2022, posting a 6.97 ERA, 7.34 FIP, and 1.50 WHIP in 20.2 frames of work.
✅ The Reds’ bullpen is the only one in the majors with a negative WAR. Through 258 innings of work in 2022, the Reds’ relievers have accounted for a pedestrian 5.27 ERA, 4.71 FIP, 4.57 BB/9, and 1.33 HR/9. They’ve registered a bloating 6.92 ERA and 5.67 FIP in the last ten days of action.

✅ Logan Webb will get the nod for the Giants. The 25-year-old righty has pitched well over his previous three starts, allowing four runs (three earned) on 18 hits and four walks across 19.2 innings of work. Webb’s lowered his ERA to 3.26 for the season, and the current Reds have zero hits in 12 at-bats against him.
Cincinnati Reds
The 23-46 Reds entered the Giants series riding a seven-game losing streak. They just got swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers in a three-game set at home, surrendering a thumping 26 runs in the process. Cincinnati has scored 46 runs in its last 12 games while hitting a mediocre .248/.308/.380 across 408 at-bats.
The Reds are tallying 4.32 runs per game in 2022 (18th in the MLB), and pitching remains their biggest problem. Cincinnati holds the highest ERA in the majors (5.38).
San Francisco Giants
The 38-31 Giants were looking to stop their two-game slide on Friday night. They’ve dropped four of their previous five contests, including three one-run defeats at the Atlanta Braves. The Giants were sitting at the third spot in the NL West, 4.5 games behind the San Diego Padres and 5.5 behind the LA Dodgers.
San Francisco has scored 58 runs over its last 13 games. The Giants were slashing .239/.332/.405 with 17 home runs across 415 at-bats in that span. Brandon Belt (114 OPS+) has returned from his knee injury, but Luis Gonzales (126 OPS+) hit the 10-Day IL last Wednesday.
