San Francisco's offense is 14th in runs and 19th in slugging with no way to manufacture runs (last in steals). Cincinnati is No. 1 in steals, while the pitching is 12th in ERA (3.88) and fourth in the pen (3.52 ERA). They've won five of eight and play their fourth straight at home. Batters are hitting just .231 off Andrew Abbott (3.38 ERA) with the Reds 6-2 in his last eight home starts. Cincinnati is also 8-0 when Abbott starts Game 1 of a series and the team is 9-1 versus the NL West. Play Cincinnati.
