Opening Day is here, and the best game may be in Cincinnati as Hunter Greene and Logan Webb face off in what should be an outstanding pitcher’s duel.

San Francisco Giants vs Cincinnati Reds

  • Run Line: Giants -1.5

  • Moneyline Red -110
  • Over/Under 7.5

These odds were updated at 9 am EST on 03/27/25, coming from DraftKings. Check out the top online MLB betting sites the only way to be great at sports betting is to have multiple accounts with at least three sportsbooks to get the best odds for every game.

Our Best Pick: Reds to Win

Defensively, the Giants rely on steady pitching and an infield that minimizes mistakes. However, the bullpen could pose a problem, as Enny Romero is currently banged up and Blayne Enlow is on the 60-day injured list. In addition, San Francisco will be without backup catcher Tom Murphy and outfielder Jerar Encarnacion. Although Logan Webb doesn’t generate a lot of strikeouts, he effectively limits hard contact and walks. His ability to control the game’s tempo will be crucial.

On the other hand, Cincinnati aims to take the next step with a young, high-upside roster as Hunter Greene enters his third year. Greene possesses electric stuff and recorded 152 strikeouts in just 112.2 innings last season. The Reds’ offense looked strong this spring, led by Elly De La Cruz and Christian Encarnacion-Strand. New addition Austin Hays brings valuable experience to the top of the order. Their 13-run finale in spring training demonstrates just how dangerous this lineup can be when it’s firing on all cylinders.

Giants vs Reds Over/Under Analysis

I would lean towards the under in this game as the pitching between two legit aces should be dominating, until the sixth inning when both teams will probably go to the bullpen.

4.5/5
Tip: Bet the Under 7.5

  • Bullpen will be key

Conclusion

I like the starting pitching matchup in this game, and I think it slightly favors the Giants. Webb has been dominant in the Exhibition season. The Reds roll with Hunter Greene who I think will also pitch well today. The Bullpen will be huge, and the Reds are rolling without their closer Alexis Diaz who is on the 15 Day DL. I like the Reds offense here and I think they will get it done between the 6th and 8th innings and pull out a close win. Reds 3  Giants 2.
