Cincinnati Reds vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Monday, 08/25/25

Hunter Greene missed extended time as part of the Cincinnati Reds starting rotation with injury, but he has been effective for his club upon his return. His first start back resulted in 6 scoreless frames against the Phillies with 6 punch outs before 6 more innings with 12 Ks against the Angels in his last outing. He did allow 3 earned runs in that start but the Reds are more than happy to have him back in their rotation. With Cincinnati looking to make the playoffs as the final wild card team, Greene’s production will be key for their chances.

Emmet Sheehan is set to start this game for the Dodgers. The 25-year-old right-hander has 41 innings under his belt with a 4.17 ERA to date. While he is not the Dodgers most dangerous starting option, their rotation has dealt with numerous injuries, and he has stepped up well for their club. Cincinnati has a decent lineup offensively, but I expect a solid outing from the righty and a lower scoring game overall.
