The Los Angeles Dodgers and the Cincinnati Reds meet Tuesday in MLB action from Great American Ballpark. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Cincinnati Reds prediction.

The Los Angeles Dodgers come into this game looking to add on to their 4-1 win over the Reds on Monday to sit at 91-59 this season. After this series, the Dodgers will head home for a series against the San Francisco Giants.

Shohei Ohtani has 139 hits with 25 doubles, 30 home runs and 80 RBIs and Freddie Freeman has 156 hits with 32 doubles, a triple, 16 home runs and 66 RBIs this season.

The Cincinnati Reds come into this game looking to rebound from their loss to the Dodgers on Monday to fall to 70-80 this season. After this series, the Reds will take on the Chicago Cubs in a series at home.
Going into Monday, Elly De La Cruz has 146 hits with 28 doubles, 5 triples, 26 home runs and 71 RBIs while Sal Stewart has 154 hits with 25 doubles, 31 home runs and 107 RBIs. Spencer Steer has 81 hits with 14 doubles, 16 home runs and 40 RBIs and Matt McLain has 75 hits with 17 doubles, 15 home runs and 39 RBIs. JJ Bleday’s added 92 hits with 16 doubles, 22 home runs and 56 RBIs as well on the year.
I’m backing the Dodgers -1.5 here. I get the case to be made for the Reds as a dog in certain spots, but I thought that spot was Monday against Skubal. We just saw this matchup last week and it was a rout in favor of the Dodgers as Lowder’s been getting rocked in his last couple of starts. I think the Dodgers get the -1.5 run line cover here.
