Los Angeles Dodgers vs Cincinnati Reds

Yamamoto (2.62 ERA, 0.88 WHIP) is one of the best starters in baseball and represents a dominant pitching advantage over Lowder (5.81 ERA, 1.53 WHIP), who has been one of the league's worst starters. The Dodgers are 91-59 with a 5.02 R/G and carry a strong offensive unit with Teoscar Hernández and Mookie Betts both hot (🔥). Cincinnati's lineup is below average and struggles against RHP (.224 AVG / .689 OPS), which is the handedness Yamamoto brings. The -240 price is steep and limits value, but the pitching edge is overwhelming enough to justify a play.
