Cincinnati @ Los Angeles picks

Nick Lodolo is struggling to miss many bats, which is never a good thing when you’re facing a team that’s slugging the lights out with a .203 Isolated Power in the last two weeks. That goes doubly when you look at his brutal .411 xSLG, which is up almost 60 points from last season.Lodolo is a strike-thrower through and through with few walks and strikeouts, hoping to rack up outs on contact. It’s just not a very winning formula against the Dodgers, and even with a whopping 11 punchouts versus L.A. a month ago he still coughed up seven baserunners and two runs.
