Dodgers at Reds — Cincinnati Still Looking for Its First Win in the Series
Cincinnati has seen the Dodgers five times this season and lost all five. Wednesday does not offer an obvious break in the schedule. Los Angeles has won eight of its last 10 and sends Blake Snell to the mound after a superb seven-start stretch: 1.91 ERA, 1.75 FIP and 12.2 strikeouts per nine across 37.2 innings. The sample is still limited, but the results have been overwhelming. Cincinnati’s danger remains the long ball — its 200 home runs rank third in MLB — yet Andrew Abbott brings a 4.78 ERA and 4.93 FIP into a matchup with one of the league’s deepest offenses. The Reds need their power to change the script early.
