Dodgers -1.5 runs over Reds -135
Yamamoto/Littell
The Reds are outmatched and outclassed in this series. The Cincinnati offense isn’t that good, and it will take a monumental pitching performance to keep them in the game, as the Dodgers’ offense can put up multiple crooked-number innings with power swings. Reds starter Zach Littell doesn’t have the strikeout ability to keep this lineup in check. Dodgers starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto will feed off the energy Blake Snell had last night. Yamamoto has given up just one run in his previous three starts and has struck out 24 batters. The Dodgers’ pitching staff will be tough to beat in the postseason, especially if they can keep the game out of the bullpen’s hands. We will once again take the run line. Take the Dogers -1.5 runs.
