Cincinnati at San Francisco

This is a big series, with each team currently sitting just outside the NL wild-card bubble. San Francisco opened the series with a 4-1 win, and the Reds are now 1-4 in their last five. Cincinnati has struggled against winning teams on the road, going 1-6 in August and 14-22 (.389) for the season. The Reds have not had much recent success playing in San Francisco either, where they are 6-10 in their last 16 visits. Cinci appears to be wearing down, and this will be their ninth straight road game. I like the San Francisco Giants in this one.
