Probable Pitcher

Clayton Kershaw (4-1, 2.08 ERA) will take the mound in the 3rd game of the series for the Dodgers. On Friday against the Guardians, Kershaw pitched five innings in a no-decision, giving up one run on five hits, a walk, and four strikeouts. He has a 5-2 record with an ERA of 2.30 and 100 strikeouts in 13 appearances versus the Reds in his career.

BETTING TRENDS

LA Dodgers are 8-0 SU in their last 8 games against Cincinnati.

The total has gone UNDER in 7 of LA Dodgers' last 10 games on the road.

Cincinnati are 0-7 SU in their last 7 games at home.

Cincinnati are 1-5 SU in their last 6 games when playing at home against LA Dodgers.

Prediction

The Dodgers offense repeated the dose on Wednesday game and beat the Reds 8-4. They'll send Clayton Kershaw try to close this series with a sweep. He has dominated the Reds in his career holding a 2.30 ERA. Hunter Greene will start for the Reds and although he's one of the best options for the Reds and can slow down the Dodgers for a bit the problem will be the Reds bullpen. They have allowed 4 and 5 runs in the first 2 games of this series. Expect a dominant perrformance from Kershaw and the Dodgers to sweep the Reds.

PICK:  Dodgers -1.5 (-125)
