Dave Roberts' team started the 2022 championship with an away series against the Colorado Rockies. The Dodgers unexpectedly fell short against one of the major underdogs of recent seasons, 5-3, 2-3, 4-9. It is unlikely that Denver expected such a result from last season's National League finalist.
The LAD's second opponent in the new league was Minnesota. And in away games against the Twins, the Dodgers more than repaid their fans for their failure in Colorado. Los Angeles won both games in Minneapolis, 7-2 and 7-0.
The first game of the series against Cincinnati is the first home game for the Dodgers this season. Walker Buehler is the starting pitcher. The 27-year-old pitcher did well in the win against the Rockies on April 4 - 2 runs allowed in 5 innings and 5 strikeouts for 2 runs. Buehler has a 2.47 ERA and a perfect 16-4 win-loss ratio in 33 starts for the Dodgers last season.
Cincinnati bounced back from Cleveland
Like the Dodgers, the Reds had their first series of the new championship series on the road, against Atlanta. It should be noted that David Bell's team looked good against the reigning champions. The Braves failed to beat Cincinnati in the end. 2-2 in the series - 6-3, 6-7, 1-2, 6-3.
The Reds had spent so much energy in Atlanta that they simply didn't have enough on their next opponent. Cincinnati lost both home games to Cleveland, 5-10 and 3-7.
Luis Cessa will start on the pitcher's mound for the Reds in the series opener against the Dodgers, a reliever designated as the starting pitcher for the first time in three seasons.
Expert Betting Tips
Cincinnati, judging by the appointment of a reliever as starting pitcher, will have a bullpen game. The Reds are counting on the second and third games of the series in Los Angeles, realizing that winning the first game against the Dodgers with Walker Buehler on the mound would be nearly impossible under any circumstances. The Dodgers have probably already been pumped up from their two straight wins over Minnesota, which should be enough for at least game one against the Reds.
The prediction is a convincing win for the Dodgers.
Betting options:
- Handicap 1 (-1.5) for 1.76;
- W1 and Total Over 8.5 for 2.55;
- Handicap 1 (-3) for 2.37.
