Reds @ Giants Betting Preview

Reds @ Giants -125: I like the Giants for a few strange reasons. First off, the Giants are 62-36 in night games, compared to 58-47 in night games for the Reds. Cain is also known as a showtime performer. 2 years ago, the last time the Giants were in the playoffs, he went 21 1/3 innings, without allowing 1 ER. Matt Cain is also a much better home pitcher, posting a 2.03 ERA at home, compared to 3.56 away. However, Cain has been hit hard this season by the Reds, giving up a 5.52 ERA against them this season. The Reds are also hitting a lifetime .261 against him. He has pitched well of late, but I think the Reds have his number. Cueto meanwhile, has historically struggled at night, posting a 3.65 ERA. He has pitched well in his last 3 games, but he has yet to face a playoff team since June, where he coincidentally lost 5-0 to Giants. The Giants are also hitting career .312 average against Cueto. I love over in this one, both names look like a under play, but really they are pitching in non-optimal environments. O 6.5 2 UNITS.
