MLB Sports Handicappers Preview Los Angeles Dodgers (36-27) at Cincinnati Reds (36-28)

Our sports picks are all posted for your review as show every selection just go to the Shark Tracker. This will be the second series for the Dodgers and the Reds this season and the first three game series brought fireworks of offense. The Dodgers and Reds scored a combined 53 runs and reached 20 runs in two of the three games. Once again these games will be played at the Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati where the Reds won 2 of 3 from the Dodgers in April.

 

The Dodgers are 35 – 17 in the last 52 meetings against the Reds but are coming off being swept by the Los Angeles Angels. In that series the Dodgers allowed 20 runs and they have now lost the lead in the NL West. Hiroki Kuroda takes the mound for LA and after dropping three straight games he pitched a gem last time out going a full 7 innings allowing just 4 hits and no runs against St. Louis. In the one meeting against the Reds this year Kuroda allowed 7 hits and 6 runs but only 3 of those runs were earned runs.

 

Aaron Harang counters for the Reds and he has had three straight quality outings allowing just 2, 2, and 1 runs over his last three starts going 18 innings. Harang faced Kuroda and the Dodgers earlier this year and allowed a whopping 7 runs (6 earned) in 5.2 innings.
