Cincinnati Reds vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
I’m on the Dodgers in this one. I think that Chase Burns has been less effective on the road this season and while the Reds have backed up Burns in a lot of his starts, it makes it really tough to feel great when he’s had issues against the Dodgers in his lone start last year against them and for me I just feel like the Dodgers’ lineup is more imposing in this game. It’ll be interesting to see who Los Angeles chooses to send out for the start here, but I still think Los Angeles gets it done.
