Stadium<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Cincinnati opened up its road trip by winning three of four games against the San Francisco Giants, including an 8-3 victory as -119 favorites Wednesday, while going OVER the betting total for the third time in four contests.\u00a0 \u201cWe\u2019ve played better than them,\u201d commented Reds outfielder Jay Bruce.\u00a0 \u201cI don\u2019t really know how to explain it.\u201d\u00a0 The Reds offense recorded 55 hits\u201422 for extra-bases\u2014setting a four-game series record at AT&amp;T Park.\u00a0 Cincinnati is 7-10 as road underdogs of +100 to +125 this season, with the UNDER going 9-8 in that situation.<\/p>\n<p>Reds starting pitcher Mat Latos (9-3, 3.53 ERA) has alternated wins and losses over his last six outings, as he comes off a 5-4 home victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates, as he allowed three runs (two earned) and four hits over five frames.\u00a0 The right-hander is 3-2 with a 3.52 ERA in 11 road games, with opposing hitters batting .255 against him.\u00a0 In nine career games versus the Dodgers, Latos has compiled a 2-6 record and 2.48 ERA.<\/p>\n<p>Los Angeles has won six games in a row, including an 8-3 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays as +104 road underdogs last night, while going OVER the total for a fourth consecutive contest.\u00a0 \u201cWe showed we can score against anyone at any time,\u201d commented Dodgers pitcher Brandon League.\u00a0 The Dodgers have won 10 games in a row on the road\u2014their longest such win streak since 1954.\u00a0 Los Angeles is 29-28 at home with a money line of -100 to -125 the last two-plus seasons, with the OVER going 30-25-2 in that situation.<\/p>\n<p>Dodgers starting pitcher Zack Greinke (8-2, 3.36 ERA) has led the club to six consecutive victories, but he didn\u2019t earn a decision in a 3-1 road win over the Washington Nationals last time out.\u00a0 The right-hander is 5-0 with a 2.17 ERA in seven home games, issuing eight walks and striking out 38 batters in 45.2 combined frames.\u00a0 In six career games versus the Reds, Greinke has tallied a 4-0 record and 2.14 ERA.<\/p>\n<p>Sports bettors will likely back the Dodgers due to their 7-0 record in Greinke\u2019s last seven home starts.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure to check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.madduxsports.com\/baseball-picks.html\">Major League Baseball picks<\/a> all season long and get the
