Analyzing Sunday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at Cincinnati Reds odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Cincinnati Reds (22-30) welcome the Los Angeles Dodgers (33-21) to Great American Ball Park Sunday for the final game of their 3-game series. First pitch is set for 12:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Dodgers vs. Reds odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Tied 3-3

The Reds beat the Dodgers 3-1 Saturday and 9-6 Friday, closing as a +127 and +140 underdog respectively. Cincinnati had lost 5 of its last 6 prior to this 2-game win streak. The Reds lost 3 of 4 in Los Angeles from May 16-19. Cincinnati is last in the NL Central and is 27-25 against the spread (ATS) this season.

The Dodgers have now lost 4 in a row, all of which have come by at least 2 runs. Prior to this series, they dropped 2 of 3 to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Los Angeles still sits atop the NL West and has a 27-27 ATS record. The Dodgers are 13-9 straight up as a road favorite this season.

Yamamoto (5-1, 3.17 ERA) makes his 11th start. He has a 1.06 WHIP, 1.8 BB/9 and 10.2 K/9 in 54 IP.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Dodgers at Reds picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 7, Reds 3

Moneyline

PASS.

The Dodgers, especially while riding a 4-game win streak, aren’t worth a play at 2x your money. The -200 price tag is just far too expensive. Similarly, the Reds are too risky given how they’ve performed throughout most of the season.

Skip any moneyline wager.

Run line/Against the spread

BET DODGERS -1.5 (-122).

The Reds are clearly going to their bullpen early by starting Suter, and their relievers rank 16th in the MLB in ERA at 3.94. Meanwhile, the Dodgers have covered the spread in Yamamoto’s last 4 starts and have covered it in 5 of their last 6 wins.

The Reds are among the streakier teams in the MLB as well and are 9-12 ATS following a win, which they are here. Expect the Dodgers to avoid a sweep and take DODGERS -1.5 (-122) here.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 9 (-108).

The Reds have gone Over in 3 of their last 4 games and are 5-4 O/U in their last 9 outings.

The Dodgers have similar mixed-bag results over the last few weeks. They have gone Over in 3 of their last 5 games and in 5 of their last 9. Considering those recent trends for both sides, take OVER 9 (-108).

The Los Angeles Dodgers (33-19) and Cincinnati Reds (20-30) meet Friday for the opener of a 3-game series. First pitch from Great American Ball Park is set for 7:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Dodgers vs. Reds odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Dodgers at Reds projected starters

LHP James Paxton vs. RHP Graham Ashcraft

Paxton (5-0, 2.84 ERA) makes his 9th start. He has a 1.38 WHIP, 4.9 BB/9 and 4.9 K/9 in 44 1/3 IP.

  • Last start: No-decision, 6 IP, 3 ER, 7 H, 0 BB, 2 K in a 7-3 win over Cincinnati Friday

Dodgers at Reds picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 8, Reds 5

Moneyline

I would lean Dodgers (-158), but PASS and play the run line for a better value.

Run line/Against the spread

Los Angeles is 2-1 in its last 3 road games while Cincinnati is only 1-2 in its last 3 at home. The Dodgers have also won 3 straight games vs. the Reds, but the teams are 5-5 in their last 10 meetings and LA is only 1-2 in its last 3 meetings with the Reds in Cincinnati.

The Dodgers are the much better team and are slightly hotter entering this matchup. In addition, the last 15 wins by the Dodgers have been by 2 or more runs. Bet DODGERS -1.5 (-104).

Over/Under

BET OVER 10 (-110).

The Over has hit in back-to-back games for Cincinnati. For Los Angeles, the Over is 2-1 in its last 3 and 6-4 in its last 10. The Over has also hit in 2 of the last 3 Dodgers-Reds matchups in Cincinnati.

The Los Angeles Dodgers (35-27) and the Cincinnati Reds (29-33) wrap up a 3-game series Thursday at Great American Ball Park. First pitch is scheduled for 12:35 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Dodgers vs. Reds odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Reds lead 2-0; Dodgers won season series 7-0 in 2022

The Dodgers have been outmuscled in The Queen City, losing 8-6 on Wednesday night and dropping the series opener 9-8 on Tuesday. Los Angeles has lost 5 of its last 6 road games.

The Reds have been on quite the roller coaster ride lately. Cincinnati won 5 in a row from May 26-31, it then dropped 4 in a row from last Thursday-Sunday, and now it has won 3 in a row coming into Thursday’s getaway day game.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

LHP Clayton Kershaw vs. RHP Graham Ashcraft

Kershaw (7-4, 3.25 ERA) makes his 13th start. He has a 1.10 WHIP, 2.2 BB/9 and 10.9 K/9 in 69 1/3 innings.

Dodgers at Reds picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 7, Reds 5

Moneyline

The Dodgers (-225) will cost you more than 2 times your potential return, and that’s worrisome on a couple of fronts.

First, Los Angeles has been outslugged in the first 2 games of this series. Second, the southpaw Kershaw has struggled on the road this season, posting a 4.70 ERA with 7 HR allowed in 38 1/3 IP, as opposed to a 1.45 ERA and just 3 HR allowed in 31 IP at Dodger Stadium.

Toss in the fact Kershaw could be distracted by some upcoming promotion night controversies involving the team, and his speaking up about it earlier this week, and he could have a lack of focus.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

The REDS +2.5 (-125) are a strong play catching runs at home.

Cincinnati has been a heavy ‘dog at GABP in the first 2 games in this series and it won both outright. While Ashcroft has been an absolute disaster at home, the offense is playing with a lot of confidence right now.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

The OVER 10 (-110) is the lean, although double digits with a pitcher of Kershaw’s caliber on the mound is always a concern.

The Over has cashed in the first 2 games in this series and is 8-4 in the Reds’ past 12 games. The Over is 6-1 in the past 7 games for the Dodgers too, while cashing at a 13-3 clip in their past 16 overall.

Dodgers at Reds projected starters

Syndergaard (1-4, 6.54 ERA) makes his 12th start. He has a 1.39 WHIP, 1.5 BB/9 and 6.0 K/9 in 52 1/3 innings.

Dodgers at Reds picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 7, Reds 6

Moneyline

AVOID.

The Dodgers are 15-16 on the road this season, so taking them to win at (-165) isn’t quite worth the extra juice. Similarly, the Reds are coming off a rocking win, and backing them, who are 16-17 at home, isn’t quite worth the (+140) wager.

Run line/Against the spread

BET REDS +1.5 (-110).

Cincinnati is 12-10 on the run line as a home underdog, and it is 28-18 on the run line as an underdog. It also has momentum, coming back from down 8-6 in the bottom of the 9th Tuesday.

The Reds are also 14-12 on the run line following a win. That said, the Dodgers are just 9-11 on the run line as an away favorite. The trends favor Cincinnati, so back REDS +1.5 (-110).

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 11 (-115).

Neither team is starting its ace, and both teams having starting pitchers that have over a 4 ERA. The Reds have gone Over in 7 of their last 11 and are 33-27 on the total this season.

The Dodgers have an electric offense and are 36-24-1 O/U on the season. They have gone Over in 5 of their last 6 games as well, scoring at least 8 in 3 of their last 6.

Take the OVER 11 (-115).

Los Angeles Dodgers at Cincinnati Reds odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at Cincinnati Reds odds and lines, with expert MLB picks, predictions and best bets.

The Los Angeles Dodgers (35-25) and the Cincinnati Reds (27-33) open a 3-game series Tuesday at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati. First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Dodgers vs. Reds odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting of 2023; Dodgers won season series 7-0 in 2022

The Dodgers lost a high-profile interleague series against the New York Yankees over the weekend, dropping 2 of 3 games. Los Angeles has been spinning its wheels lately, going just 8-10 across the past 18 games overall dating back to May 16, although it is still tied for 1st place in the NL West with the Arizona Diamondbacks.

The Reds snapped a 4-game losing streak Sunday with a 2-0 win against the Milwaukee Brewers. It was Cincinnati’s 1st shutout since May 26, and its 4th overall this season.

Cincinnati dropped all 7 meetings in 2022 against Los Angeles, and it is just 17-38 in the past 55 games against the NL West. On the flip side, L.A. is 11-9 against the NL Central this season, and 52-23 in the past 75 meetings against the division overall.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Dodgers at Reds projected starters

RHP Tony Gonsolin vs. RHP Luke Weaver

Gonsolin (3-1, 1.77 ERA) makes his 8th start. He has a 0.90 WHIP, 3.3 BB/9 and 6.3 K/9 in 35 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: Win, 6 IP, 1 ER, 3 H, 2 BB, 2 K in a 9-3 road home win vs. the Washington Nationals last Tuesday
  • 2023 Road splits: 1-1, 1.35 ERA (20 IP, 3 ER – 3 solo HR) with 8 BB, 14 K and a .130 opponent batting average (OBA) in 4 starts

Weaver (1-2, 5.36 ERA) makes his 9th start. He has a 1.35 WHIP, 1.9 BB/9 and 8.7 K/9 in 43 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: No-decision, 5 2/3 IP, 3 ER, 7 H, 0 BB, 5 K in a 5-4 road win vs. the Boston Red Sox Wednesday

Dodgers at Reds picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 6, Reds 2

Moneyline

The Dodgers (-190) will cost you nearly 2 times your potential return, and that’s just a little too expensive for my liking. My personal limit for a singular moneyline wager is -180, and I wouldn’t even toss Los Angeles into a multi-team parlay at this price point.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

The DODGERS -1.5 (-125) are more reasonably priced on the run line.

It’s hard to imagine the Reds cobbling together much offense against Gonsolin, who has been next to unhittable so far this season.

The high-octane Los Angeles offense should have its way with Weaver, who has served up 11 home runs in just 43 2/3 IP this season.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

The UNDER 10 (-110) is the play, mainly because of Gonsolin’s ability to keep the ball in the yard. While Weaver has been knocked around pretty frequently, he still has a rather respectable 1.35 WHIP overall through 43 2/3 IP. While he allows plenty of homers, generally there aren’t a lot of people on base. This won’t be a pitcher’s duel, but we won’t get into double digits, either.

Los Angeles Dodgers at Cincinnati Reds odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at Cincinnati Reds odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Los Angeles Dodgers (42-25) look to complete a 3-game sweep of the Cincinnati Reds (23-45) Thursday at Great American Ball Park. First pitch is set for 12:35 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Dodgers vs. Reds odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Dodgers lead 6-0

The Dodgers put up 8 runs in each of the first 2 games of this series and their 22-13 road mark is 3rd best in the league.

The Reds have dropped 6 games in a row, which is just their 3rd longest streak of the season as they have also had a 9-game skid and an 11-game losing streak.

Dodgers at Reds projected starters

LHP Clayton Kershaw vs. RHP Hunter Greene

Kershaw (4-1, 2.08 ERA) makes his 8th start of the season. He has a 0.85 WHIP, 1.4 BB/9 and 9.2 K/9 through 39 IP.

  • In 2 starts since returning from the IL he has allowed 3 ER in 9 IP with 8 K and 3 BB.
  • He is 3-1 in 4 road starts this season, surrendering just 3 ER across 23 IP for a 1.17 ERA.

Greene (3-7, 5.26 ERA) makes his 14th start. He has a 1.29 WHIP, 3.9 BB/9 and 11.8 K/9 through 65 IP.

  • His triple-digit heat misses a lot of bats as he has recorded double-digit swinging strikes in each of his last 8 starts.
  • His fly ball tilt and hitter-friendly home park have led to some home run issues. He has served up 17 already, which is the 3rd highest mark in the league.

Dodgers at Reds picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 5, Reds 3

Money line

The Reds have lost 7 home games in a row and will certainly have their hands full against Kershaw in this one. The price is pretty steep, but the DODGERS (-230) are still worth a small play.

Run line/Against the spread

The Dodgers have run off 6 straight against the Reds this season by a combined score of 42-13. None of the Dodgers’ games have been decided by a single run and just one contest was decided by 2 runs.

Go with DODGERS -1.5 (-130) as the best value in this game.

Over/Under

Kershaw has been excellent as usual when healthy and Greene has been better than his ERA would suggest. The total has gone Under in five of Cincinnati’s last 6 games against a lefty starter and UNDER 8.5 (+110) is the side to take.

Los Angeles Dodgers at Cincinnati Reds odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at Cincinnati Reds odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Los Angeles Dodgers (41-25) face the Cincinnati Reds (23-44) for the 2nd game of a 3-game series on the road. First pitch Wednesday is at 6:40 p.m. ET at Great American Ball Park. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Dodgers vs. Red odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Dodgers at Reds picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 4, Reds 2

Money line

Run line/Against the spread

The Dodgers are 36-29 ATS overall this season and 19-14 ATS on the road. When they win, they typically do so by 2 or more runs. Of their 40 wins this season, 36 have been by 2 or more runs.

The Reds are 30-36 ATS overall and 13-19 ATS at home. Seven of their last 11 losses have been by at least 2 runs.

Take the DODGERS -1.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Gonsolin’s last 6 starts and 10 of his 12 starts this season have had totals of 9 or fewer runs. The Dodgers’ last 8 games and 11 of their last 12 have had fewer than 10 runs

Mahle’s last 2 starts have stayed under 10 runs.

With both Gonsolin and Mahle giving up almost nothing in their last few starts, this has the making of a pitcher’s duel.

Take UNDER 9.5 (-125).
