Our Cincinnati Reds vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
Neither team has been great at the plate over the last week, but the Dodgers have been the better of the two, hitting .234 to .210 for the Reds. But this game won't be decided by either lineup. Tariq Skubal may have his best outing yet as a Dodger, going up against a lineup hitting .140 against him (8-57 with one home run and 19Ks). Lodolo has been better at home, but he’s not going to be up to the task. Don’t count on the Dodger bats going off, but they’ll do well enough for LA to win by 2+ runs.
