Current Odds
Cincinnati +170
LA Dodgers -200
Over/ Under: 6.5 U -120
Analysis: The Cincinnati Reds come in at 22-28 overall and just 10-16 on the road. Not the start they were hoping for this year. The Reds have lost the 1st two in the series and have now lost 4 in a row overall. The Reds have struggled on offense this year, ranking 28th in scoring (3.48 rpg), 23th in hitting (.241) and 23rd in homers (39). Injuries can be attributed to most of that. This pitching staff has been fairly good as they come in ranked 12th in ERA (3.65) and 8th in WHIP (1.24). Homer Bailey gets the ball for the Reds tonight and he comes in with a 4-3 record, despite a high 5.34 ERA. Homer is 1-2 with a 6.08 ERA on the road this year and he is 2-2 with a 4.01 ERA in 4 career starts at Dodger Stadium.
The LA Dodgers returned for their long road trip last night and proceeded to beat the Reds 4-3 and they followed that up with a 6-3 win last to push their season record to 29-24 on the year. Offensively the Dodgers come in ranked 10th in the league in scoring (4.32 rpg), 8th in hitting (.258) and 10th in homers (54). The pitching for the Dodgers has been mostly solid as they are 8th in the league in ERA (3.49),14th in WHIP (1.29) and 2nd in Ks (461). Clayton Kershaw will be getting the ball for the Dodgers and will be making just his 6th start of the year, after spending the early part on the DL. Clayton is 3-1 with a 4.49 ERA on the year, including 0-0 with a 3.86 ERA at home. Kershaw is 2-1 with a 2.78 ERA in 8 career starts vs the Reds.
Pick: I like the Dodgers on the RL (+110) here. The Reds still can't hit and facing Kershaw at home will not help matters for their struggling offense. Kershaw has been lights out at night where he is is 3-0 with an 0.46 ERA. On the other side we have Homer Bailey who has a high 6.08 ERA on the road and a 6.58 ERA at night. He will be facing a Dodgers offense that is coming alive, having scored 4.7 rpg in their last 10 games. The Dodgers have outscored their foes by 3 RPG in Clayton's night starts this year and they should win this one by at least 3 runs as well.
