Los Angeles Dodgers vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction
As I’ve said time and time again, I’m always looking for chances to fade the Dodgers and these inflated prices. The problem is the Dodgers are rolling right now, and Yamamoto looks fantastic with a 2.62 ERA and 0.88 WHIP. We can’t say the same for the Reds or Lowder, who has a 5.81 ERA and 1.53 WHIP. Last week the Dodgers hit Lowder for 7 hits and 7 runs in 3.1 innings. He’s allowed 13 hits and 13 earned runs in his alst 7.1 innings. No thanks. Give me the Dodgers and the RL for max betting value.
