Rating: 8*
The Cincinnati Reds have won five straight and are 21-12 since the All-Star break. They've taken the first two games of the series by a combined score of 20-3, and I like the Reds to win big again here in the series finale.
Anthony DeSclafani (7-1, 3.10) takes the ball for Cincinnati. He's 1-2 despite a 2.37 ERA in three career starts covering 19 innings against the Dodgers. With the Reds bats likely to give him more run support today this looks like a no-brainer play with the 26 year old at the mound at GABP were he's 4-0 behind a 2.12 ERA in five starts on the season.
Julio Urias (3-2, 4.41 ERA) will take the ball for the Dodgers. He'll make his first start since Aug. 8. The 20 year old rookie is 1-2 with a 5.54 ERA in six appearances (five starts) on the road.
The Reds have been hitting the ball well, and we might not have to worry about their terrible bullpen which should be fresh after seven strong innings from Brandon Finnegan on Saturday. "Our bullpen should be fresh going into (Sunday's) game," Reds manager Bryan Price said.
