Our Cincinnati Reds vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
The public is getting behind the Dodgers to win this one outright and via the runline, and I just can’t see why. About the only thing they have going for them in this game is name recognition. Neither team has been hitting well lately. Ohtani’s return to pitching has not gone well; he’s really struggled in night games. Lodolo, on the other hand, has pitched well, day or night. If you want to pick a winner, go with the Reds ML, but my best bet for this game is the UNDER.
Our Reds vs. Dodgers Pick: UNDER 8.5
