Sanfrancisco Giants -1.50
The San Francisco Giants are in playoff contention for a few reasons. One of them is the fact that they have been great at home, entering here with a 36-17 mark on the season. They have also begun to get long awaited dividends from Barry Zito, who suddenly has regained the form he had in Oakland. Zito carries a 1.93 ERA into this one over his last three starts, and has allowed two runs or less in five of his last six starts. That leaves the Reds with some problems, as they are second from the bottom in run production in all of baseball against lefthand starters at just 3.8 runs per game. That puts a lot of pressure on Bronson Arroyo, who has had a very sub-par season, entering here with an ERA of over five runs a game. I like the Giants to win this one.
