Reds vs Dodgers Prediction 

Cincinnati had its winning streak snapped on Monday night, but it continues to play well and is right in the middle of the wild card race. The Reds are 31-23 at home this season, while the Dodgers are 27-24 on the road. Los Angeles has been a little inconsistent in the last few weeks, and they are starting Glasnow, who has allowed one earned run or fewer in three straight starts. The Reds are going with Lodolo, who has allowed a total of two earned runs in his last three outings. I like both pitchers in this game, and I think we are going to see a low-scoring game. Take the under here.
