Good spot to back the Cincinnati Reds to beat the San Francisco Giants after dropping the first three games of the series.

The Reds have a 6-2 record in righty Tyler Mahle's (2-1, 2.93 ERA) eight starts and he has allowed more than two runs in only one start.

The Giants counter with Johnny Cueto (2-1, 3.62 ERA) who allowed no runs and three hits over 5 2/3 inning of a 3-0 win when pitching opposite Mahle on April 14, but left that win after only 68 pitches and ended up sidelined for more than three weeks. The team has last his two starts since coming back with Cueto giving up seven runs on eight hits over 7 1/3 innings.

Additionally, the Reds are the highest-scoring team at home in baseball, and I think their bats are about to go off following a couple of low-scoring games.

8* play on OVER.
