The Los Angeles Dodgers will go for the clean sweep today when they face the Cincinnati Reds in the final game of a three-game series. Fans can follow the action once the game gets underway at Dodger Stadium at 8:40 p.m. EST. It’s been a good week for the Dodgers. They ended a road trip with a win over the Padres in San Diego on Sunday, shutout the Reds for a 7-0 win on Monday, and took Game Two yesterday, 6-3, for their third win in a row.

They’ll go for a fourth consecutive win and a sweep of the Reds with Shohei Ohtani on the mound to start the day. Ohtani has yet to record a win as a pitcher this season, going 0-1 in ten starts with a 4.61 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, and a .278 OBA.  He has gone four innings in his three starts this month, but not more than 4 1/3. With just 12 1.3 innings under his belt this month, he has allowed 10 earned runs for a 7.30 ERA. As for the Reds, Nick Lodolo is coming off the IL to start. So far this season, he has an 8-6 record in 23 starts with a 3.05 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, and .226 OBA. He has had his best stuff on the road, where he is 5-4 in 12 starts with a 2.18 ERA and .188 OBA.

  3. Lodolo has gone 5-4 in 14-night games with a 3.08 ERA and .229 OBA.

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
