Cincinnati at San Diego

Cincinnati is on a 5-11 slide and has a losing road record. The Reds are a long way from home, starting a nine-game trek. Nick Lodolo comes off a 5-1 loss at Dodger Stadium in his last start, allowing four runs in four-plus innings. He doesn't get much help from a relief that is 15th in ERA (4.04) or a defense that is 26th in fielding percentage. The Padres have one of the best home records (43-25) in the NL. San Diego's offense is eighth in the majors in on-base percentage after two straight wins at Colorado, 10-8 and 8-1. Yu Darvish has a 3.55 ERA at home this season, where he's holding batters to a .193 average, so it's back to his home field. Play San Diego.
