Can LA and Cincy’s Pitching Masterclass Silence Baseball’s Most Feared Hitters?
The Reds are one of the more surprising teams in baseball this season. Cincinnati has climbed its way to five games above .500, and it has some people thinking they could make a playoff run. I’m not fully on board that they will make it, but I do feel like they are only a few pieces away from potentially being there. The pitching has been better than expected this season, and the hitting is consistent enough. With the trade deadline this week, the Reds are probably going to be buyers. There are talks that they may even reunite with the biggest bat on the market, Eugenio Suarez. A win tonight could go a long way and they have a guy that has put together a good season. Nick Lodolo is 8-6 for the season with a 3.08 ERA, and a 1.04 WHIP. Lodolo has been worse at home this season than he has on the road. July has been his best month of the season with four quality starts. He even has two scoreless outings, including a complete game shutout in his most recent start. The Dodgers have very little experience against Lodolo, going just 4-for-12.Â
