The series against the Los Angeles Dodgers will be the second straight on home field for the Reds. In the first one, Cincinnati failed to beat Milwaukee, losing all three games to the Brewers – 4-5, 3-7, 3-6. The Reds are now 23-43 overall, penultimate 14th in the National League standings, and no chance at the playoffs this season.
Cincinnati's starting pitcher for the first game of the series with the Dodgers is Tyler Mahle, 2-5 and with a 4.46 ERA in 14 starts.
Dodgers lost two of their last three series
A trip to a National League outsider in Cincinnati is a great opportunity for the Dodgers to bounce back. Dave Roberts' team managed to beat the Los Angeles Angels twice before their series with the Reds, but lost all three games at Oracle Park in San Francisco and then lost two more of their three home games to Cleveland, 1-2, 7-1, 3-5. As a result of this bad stretch, the Dodgers lost their lead in the conference, once again trailing the New York Mets.
Pitching for the Dodgers in the upcoming game will be Tony Gonsolin, unbeaten so far this season, with an 8-0 record and 1.42 ERA in 12 starts.

The score of the season series is 4-0 in favor of the Dodgers.
Expert Betting Tips
It's far from certain that the Los Angeles Dodgers will win all 3 games in the series in Cincinnati, but in the upcoming game, the Reds don't seem to have any chance of success. The undefeated Gonsolin is pitching for the Dodgers and they have lost a lot of games lately, so in a series with an outsider, they probably expect to pick up a win.
Prediction: a win for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
