The San Francisco Giants won two straight against a really good Mets team and tonight they will be in Cincinnati to open a 3-game set with the Reds. Cincinnati is also riding a 2-game winning streak and put up a staggering 20 runs yesterday but that was against a rebuilding Cubs team so no reason to get too excited. The Giants are expected to send Carlos Rodón to the hill. The southie is 4-3 with a 3.43 ERA, a 1.16 WHIP, and is 2-0 in his career against the Reds with a stingy 1.64 ERA. The Reds starter has yet to be determined. If the Giants want to keep pace with the Dodgers and Padres in the NL West they have to beat teams like the Reds and they know it. San Fran is 6-0 in the last 6 meetings overall with Cincinnati and 4-0 in their last 4 at Great American Ball Park.
TONIGHT’S PICK: SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS
