The Los Angeles Dodgers, fresh off a stretch of thirteen games in thirteen days, are set to begin a six-game road trip, kicking it off with a rematch with the young Cincinnati Reds.
The Dodgers took care of business the first time around, winning three of the four games in Los Angeles. However, despite winning nine of their last thirteen games, the Dodgers’ offense is in a major slump, ranking bottom third in the league in many offensive categories.
The Reds are reeling in May with a 4-16 record. They are alone in last place in the NL Central and have lost nine of their last ten games.
