Bet Today’s Giants vs. Reds Game
In his last outing, Peavy was rocked for six runs in only two-plus innings last Friday by the Mets. All six runs were scored in the third inning, which ended up being a 12-run frame for New York. Peavy gave up four hits and walked five batters while throwing just 38 out of 70 pitches for strikes. His ERA is now up to 8.61 and his WHIP is sitting at 2.00.
As for Straily, he produced a quality start in Friday’s loss to the Pirates. He allowed just two runs on five hits over six innings while striking out five and walking three batters on the night. Straily’s ERA is sitting at a respectable 3.38 while his WHIP is 1.08 and his strikeout-to-walk ratio is 22/12 across 24 innings. He’s still in search of his first victory.

OUR PREDICTION: The over is 7-1-1 in the last nine meetings between these two teams and is 4-1-2 in the last seven meetings in Cincinnati. The over is also 5-1-1 in the Reds’ last seven home games, is 4-1-1 in their last six home games versus a right-handed starter, and is 8-2 in their last 10 games played on Wednesday. On the other side, the over is a perfect 5-0 in Peavy’s last five starts and is 4-1 in his last five road starts. If today’s game plays out anything like Peavy’s last outing, then the over should be a safe bet to cash.
