As of now, it looks like rain may be a factor here, and it might get delayed or postponed, but this is the only afternoon play regardless for me.
Peavy has an ugly 8.61ERA and a solid 2.00WHIP to start this season. He’s given up 39 hits in 23 innings. That’s bad…like really bad. But one thing that he has going for him is a team that can score runs. They average 5.07 runs per game, good for 5th in the league and have averaged 6.0 per game over their last 3. In Peavy’s 5 starts, the totals have hit 18, 16, 16, 9, and 14 (14.6avg). SF during that stretch scored 33 while the opposition scored 40.
Straily on the other hand has pitched well thus far, and in particular, he’s owned LH hitters, giving up a .088avg. Not that it’s his fault, but he hasn’t crossed that 6IP mark this season. While he’s given up just 14 hits in 24IP, he’s given up 12 walks, which could be a problem. I was leaning taking the Reds ML (+110), given the starter discrepancy, but the relief pitching of the Reds is atrocious and that’s what’s scaring me here. In 73 IP after the 7th inning, the Reds are LAST in the league with a 7.89ERA, 1.73WHIP.
The Reds F5 may be a good bet, but I believe the Over 8.5 (-120) in the game to be the best bet.
Peavy will probably go 5IP and give up an early lead. The Giants offense will be forced to bail out Peavy’s sloppy performance and they will capitalize in the later innings on the terrible Red’s bullpen. That’s how I see it. GOOD LUCK
