SUNDAY NL TOP BLOWOUT! 6-0 MLB RUN!
(MLB) Cincinnati vs. LA Dodgers,
Point Spread: 1.50 | -124.00 Cincinnati (Away)
Result: Win
The Reds are 7-3 L10 and they seem to know how to win this year. They are getting good starting pitching, which includes Sunday's starter Ashcraft. He has pitched well this month after a dreadful June, with a 2.331 ERA in July, giving up 2 or less runs in his last 6 starts. It is a similar story for the Dodgers' Grove; poor June followed by a solid July, with a 3.66 ERA for the month. One caveat for Grove is his Op BA, a hefty .308 for the month. The Dodgers are hitting well, .271 BA, .806 OPS, considerably better than the Reds. The Reds have a youthful enthusiasm this season earning a split in the last two games , and a 3-2 season lead with the Dodgers. Aschcraft has been consistent enough lately to question the Dodgers as a heavy favorite. Both series games have been decided by a single run. Take the Reds on the run line at +1 1/2.
