Cincinnati Reds vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
You can talk yourself into the Reds and the plus money with Burns on the mound as he’s been a bright spot this season. However, Burns is coming off an August in which he allowed 33 hits and 15 earned runs in 32.2 innings. Burns also sees a 2.09 ERA and .195 allowed batting average at home jump to a 3.50 ERA and .242 allowed batting average on the road. The Dodgers also keep piling up wins, and this is a rare spot where the line isn’t crazy steep. Give me the Dodgers and the low price.
