Los Angeles Dodgers

Yoshinobu Yamamoto will be starting the upcoming series for the Los Angeles Dodgers after a solid performance in his last outing, where he allowed only one run in five innings against Minnesota. Despite his strong showing, Yamamoto received another no-decision as the Dodgers ultimately lost the game. The veteran pitcher has been impressive recently, giving up zero or one run in four of his past five starts and holds a 2.55 ERA and 1.05 WHIP this season with an 8-7 record in 109 innings pitched. In his previous meeting with the Reds, Yamamoto allowed four runs in five innings. The Dodgers, who are currently on a nine-game road trip, have won three of their last five series and are 6.5 games ahead of the Giants. They recently won a series against Minnesota but dropped two out of three games against the Red Sox over the weekend, scoring 10 runs and allowing 10 runs in the process. The team has a 26-24 record on the road. On the offensive side, Shohei Ohtani has been exceptional at the plate, hitting six home runs with 11 RBIs in his last 10 games and has accumulated 71 RBIs with a 1.00 OPS this season. However, Mookie Betts has been struggling with a .550 OPS this month despite issuing two RBIs against the Reds last season. Teoscar Hernandez has also had a tough month with a .670 OPS, but Will Smith has been strong with a 1.05 OPS in July and a .965 OPS on the year. The Dodgers average 5.27 runs per game, ranking them second, while their pitching staff holds a 4.25 ERA, placing them 24th in the league.

Cincinnati Reds

Chase Burns, the Reds' top pitching prospect, will start the upcoming series despite struggling in his previous outing. Burns has a 6.65 ERA and 1.62 WHIP with an 0-2 record in 21.2 innings pitched. The Reds are currently battling for a wildcard spot, only one game out. They lost a road series against the Nationals but rebounded with a home sweep against the Rays, scoring 15 runs and conceding just five. Matt McLain, Tyler Stephenson, Austin Hays, Nolvei Marte, and Spencer Steer have been key contributors offensively. The team is averaging 4.60 runs per game and has a decent 3.90 ERA in pitching.

Cincinnati Reds' Strong Home Record Puts Pressure on Vulnerable Los Angeles Dodgers

The Los Angeles Dodgers have shown vulnerability on the road, currently holding a record just two games above .500 and losing six of their past nine games. On the other hand, the Cincinnati Reds have established a strong home record, winning six of their last seven games. This dynamic young team is in close contention for a wildcard playoff spot, being just one game behind. Yoshinobu Yamamoto of the Dodgers has struggled to consistently pitch deep into games, going six innings in only three of his last seven outings, putting pressure on an inconsistent bullpen. In contrast, Reds pitcher Chase Burns has emerged as a top prospect in the league, evident through his impressive 35 strikeouts in 21.2 innings. Burns has shown consistent performance, allowing two or fewer runs in two of his last three appearances.
