Bet Today’s Dodgers vs. Reds Game
LOS ANGELES: The Dodgers wanted to give every pitcher in their starting rotation extra rest, so Urias gets the start today. He holds a 4.41 ERA and 56/23 K/BB ratio over his 12 appearances (10 starts) for the Dodgers this season. He’s 2-2 with a 4.37 ERA over those 10 starts but manager Dave Roberts said earlier this month that the play is to use Urias as the long reliever out of the team’s bullpen.
CINCINNATI: DeScalfani is coming off a strong outing versus the Marlins on Tuesday. He gave up seven hits without walking a batter over six innings, plus struck out six batters in the process. The win gave him a 7-1 record, although it was his first victory in four starts. In 13 total outings this season, DeScalfani owns a 3.10 ERA and a 1.21 WHIP.

The Dodgers, meanwhile, are now 1-4 in their last five games versus National League Central opponents and have dropped six of their last eight road games to opponents with losing records.
