Los Angeles Dodgers vs Cincinnati Reds team news

Los Angeles Dodgers team news

Ohtani has been the headliner all season, blasting 45 homers and driving in 84 runs, both team-bests. His power numbers have him sitting second in all of baseball for home runs and 12th in RBI. Freddie Freeman has been equally reliable, pacing the Dodgers with a .305 average, while Mookie Betts (.248, 13 homers, 49 walks) and Andy Pages (.271 with 21 doubles and 21 homers) add depth across the order.

On the mound, L.A. turns to young right-hander Emmet Sheehan, who’s been steady in his opportunities. He enters with a 4-2 record, a 4.17 ERA, and a 1.24 WHIP through 41 innings across nine appearances, seven of them starts.

Cincinnati Reds team news

The Reds, meanwhile, lean heavily on Elly De La Cruz, their breakout star who leads the team in batting average (.275), home runs (19), and RBI (77). He’s been in rhythm lately, collecting hits in three straight games and posting a .286 average over his last five contests. Around him, TJ Friedl (.264 with 18 doubles), Steer (.236 with 16 homers), and Hays (.264, 10 homers) round out the Reds’ order.

Cincinnati’s biggest weapon may be their starter: flame-throwing righty Hunter Greene. The 25-year-old has been electric this year, carrying a 5-3 record, a sparkling 2.63 ERA, and a 0.93 WHIP in 72 innings across 13 starts. Opposing hitters are batting just .199 against him, making this a marquee pitching showdown in Los Angeles.
