#961/962 ASA PLAY ON Over 8 Runs - Los Angeles Dodgers vs Cincinnati Reds, Saturday at 9:10 PM ET - We are going to start with talking about the starting pitchers in this one.  Walker Buehler is still trying to work back into form and is making only his 3rd start since he returned.  The first start saw him allow 6 hits in 4 innings to the light-hitting Marlins.  His next start was even more concerning as he allowed 3 earned runs in only 3 and 1/3 innings against the Padres.  Buehler is in line to struggle again here against a Reds team that has scored 10 runs in the first 2 games of this series and has averaged scoring 4.5 runs per game last 6 games.  All 6 of those games have been on the road and 5 of the 6 totaled at least 8 runs and we expect this one will too.  The Dodgers lineup helps the cause as LA should tee off against Graham Ashcraft.  The Reds expected starter tonight has struggled with 6 earned runs allowed on 13 hits in 9 innings over his last 2 starts.  Ashcraft has a 5.34 ERA in his night game outings this season.  The Dodgers should tee off against Ashcraft here as they continue to be one of the top hitting teams in baseball as they did it again in last night's 7 to 3 win!  LA also did a lot of damage against the Reds bullpen last night which is a good sign for tonight as well as Ashcraft is unlikely to work deep in this one.  The Dodgers have gone 18-6 in two dozen games since their 12-11 start to the year.  In those 24 games LA averaged scoring 5.5 runs per game and this total opened up at an 8.5 but dropped to an 8 which adds to the value in this one!  Based on the factors we detailed above there is strong likelihood this one will turn into a high-scoring back and forth battle.  Over is the call in this one Saturday evening.
