Cincinnati Reds vs. San Francisco Giants Prediction

I’m on the Reds here. I’m not buying what Adrian Houser is selling after one good start as he was not all that effective in his starts prior to his injury. The Reds have been getting decent production from Brady Singer this season and I think that the Reds back him up and get some quick revenge here. Give me Cincinnati.
