Cincinnati Reds vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 7/29/25, 4:03 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 8/4/25 at 10:28 PM in MLB Picks

At dusk at Great American Ballpark on Tuesday, the Dodgers and Reds will play Game 2. It's a very interesting series from a betting perspective; the Dodgers are the defending champions, but they haven't won two straight series in July. They're a team hampered by injuries to the pitching staff, so much so that the Dodgers' collective ERA doesn't rank among the top 20 in MLB. On the other side are the Reds, seeking their first playoff appearance since 1995, with a young, electric team that, entering this series, had a four-game winning streak that gave them a 56-50 record.

The Reds faced Yamamoto in Game 1, and on Tuesday they'll face Tyler Glasnow, back from his long-term injury. Since Glasnow's recovery, he's made three starts in July; In all of them he pitched at least 5 innings, but on July 23 he showed his most dominant side in LA, pitching 7 innings of one run where he struck out 12 Twins.
