BETTING TRENDS
LA Dodgers are 6-0 SU in their last 6 games against Cincinnati.
The total has gone UNDER in 7 of LA Dodgers' last 9 games on the road.
Cincinnati are 0-5 SU in their last 5 games at home.
Cincinnati are 4-10 SU in their last 14 games when playing at home against LA Dodgers.
Prediction
The Dodgers have struggled lately as they are just 5-5 in their last 10 games and are without their best hitter Mookie Betts. They'll send Tony Gonsolin to the mound who has been outstanding this season and dominated the Reds across 4 innings earlier this season. The Reds are sending Tyler Mahle who has improved lately and just pitched 9 scoreless innings in his last start. The Dodgers offense has been quiet lately and the under has cashed in 7 of their last 9 games on the road. Take the under.
PICK: Under 9.5 (-110)
