The Cincinnati Reds will play the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium in Game 1 of the series on Thursday night.

The Cincinnati Reds are 2-4 this season after being swept in a two game series against the Cleveland Guardians. Cincinnati lost 7-3 and 10-5 in those two games. The Cincinnati pitching staff has a 4.40 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, and a .234 opponent batting average this year. The Reds offense has scored 24 runs with a .195 batting average and a .270 on base percentage. Tyler Stephenson, who has two home runs and 6 RBI this year, leads the Cincinnati offense. The projected starter for the Reds is Luis Cessa, who is 0-0 with a 0.00 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in 2.2 innings this season.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are 3-2 this season after sweeping the Twins in a two game series. Los Angeles won by scores of 7-0 and 7-2 in those games. The Dodgers pitching staff has a 3.44 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, and a .226 opponent batting average this season. The Los Angeles offense has scored 18 runs with a .236 batting average and a .310 on base percentage. The projected starter for the Dodgers is Walker Buehler, who is 1-0 with a 3.60 ERA and 1.20 WHIP in 5 innings so far this season.

The over is 5-0 in Cincinnati’s last 5 games with a total between 7-8.5 and the over is 4-0 in Cincinnati’s last 4 road games with the total set between 7-8.5. The under is 4-0 in Los Angeles’ last 4 games following a win and the over is 4-0 in Los Angeles’ last 4 games as a home favorite. The over is 5-2 in these two teams last 7 head to head to meetings, while the Red are 17-35 in these two teams last 52 head to head meetings in LA.

I really like the Dodgers in this matchup with their ace on the mound and being at home. The Dodgers averaged 7 runs per game in their last series, while the Reds averaged 4. I like the Dodgers to win by more than 1 in this matchup.
