The NL West leading Los Angeles Dodgers are on a rare 2-game losing streak but get back on track when they host the 18-25 Cincinnati Reds tonight in the second game of their 4-game set at Chávez Ravine. Lefty James Paxton is expected to get the start for the Dodgers and he has been delivering. The Big Maple is 5-0 with a 2.58 ERA and a 1.41 WHIP. Frankie Montas is expected to get the nod for the Reds. Montas is 2-3 with a 4.20 ERA and a 1.37 WHIP. The Dodgers, who average just under 9 hits per game, mustered just 4 hits in last night’s 7-2 loss to the Reds and Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, and Shohei Ohtani were hitless so they are due for a big night.
