Los Angeles Dodgers vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction: Dodgers have my backing here

The Los Angeles Dodgers host the Cincinnati Reds at the Dodger Stadium in the opener of an MLB series. Which side draws the first blood? Let’s preview this game from a betting perspective and make a prediction.

Los Angeles Dodgers are coming off a series win over the San Francisco Giants. The Los Angeles Dodgers took the first two games in that series and then lost 4-1 in the finale. In that series, the Los Angeles Dodgers scored a total of 17 runs, while conceding 10. This season, the Los Angeles Dodgers have a 29-16 record and are positioned in the third spot of the National League standings.

Cincinnati Reds have been poor in recent matches, and the visiting will look to make the wrong right here. This team has just two wins in as many as 14 encounters in their last matches. In their last series, the Cincinnati Reds have lost to the Arizona Diamondbacks, San Francisco Giants, Baltimore Orioles, and San Diego Padres. So far this season, Cincinnati Reds have an 18-25 record, which positions them 4th in the National League Central Division.

The Cincinnati Reds have no chance in this game. The visiting team has struggled against lower sides, and I do not see them stopping a consistent side like the Los Angeles Dodgers. Therefore, I expect the Los Angeles Dodgers to dominate this game and win easily in what will be a home game.
