The Dodgers have lost three in a row and are starting Noah Syndergaard. So I don't believe they should be favored in this price range.

Injuries, including Tommy John surgery, have robbed Syndergaard of his once feared fastball and effectiveness. He has a 6.54 ERA. He's made 11 starts and won only once. Syndergaard has allowed multiple runs in nine consecutive starts when pitching more than one inning. 

"I would give away my hypothetical first-born to be the old me again,'' Syndergaard has lamented. 

The Reds are going with rookie Brandon Williamson, who will be making his fourth big league start. He held the Brewers to three runs - two of which were earned - on five hits in 6 2/3 innings during his last start five days ago. 

This is an exciting time for the Reds with the call-up of infielder Elly De La Cruz, their No. 1 prospect and one of the best in baseball.
