The 'Under 8.5' bet is a good choice considering the Dodgers' strong defensive performance at home, with an average of only 4.4 runs allowed in their last five home games. The Dodgers' pitchers also have a higher average of strikeouts (9.8 overall, 7.4 at home) compared to the Reds (7.4 both overall and away), which suggests a stronger defense. Additionally, the Dodgers' batting performance has been moderate, scoring an average of 4.4 runs in their last five games, and slightly less at home (4). The Reds have a higher average of runs scored (8) but also allow a significant number of runs (4.6) in their games. Considering both teams' performances, the likelihood of the total runs going under 8.5 is statistically justified.

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
The 'Under 7' bet is a good choice considering both the Dodgers and Reds' recent performance data. The Dodgers have a solid home record and have been limiting their opponents to an average of 3.6 runs in their last five games. They've also maintained a lower scoring average at home (4 runs) compared to their overall average (4.4 runs). Furthermore, the Dodgers' pitchers have a higher strikeout average (9.8) than the Reds (7.4), which suggests they are more likely to prevent runs. The Reds, on the other hand, have a high run average but also allow an average of 4.6 runs, indicating a balance that could keep the total runs under 7. Additionally, the model prediction is very close to the line, at 6.87, which further supports the under bet. All these factors together make the 'Under 7' a statistically reasonable choice.

The bet on 'Cincinnati Reds Over 1.5' for the Team Total Runs is a solid choice based on the Reds' recent offensive performance. In their last five games, the Reds have averaged 8 runs, well above the line of 1.5. Their batting average also supports this trend, with an average of 12.4 hits per game. This indicates a consistently strong offense. Additionally, the Dodgers have allowed an average of 4.4 runs in their last five home games, further indicating the potential for the Reds to score more than 1.5 runs. Despite the Dodgers' impressive recent record, their performance data suggests they may struggle to suppress the Reds' potent offense.

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
The under 6.5 bet for the total runs in the Dodgers vs Reds game is justified by several key statistics. Firstly, the Dodgers have a solid record of limiting runs, with an average of just 3.6 runs allowed in their last five games overall and 4.4 at home. This is coupled with their ability to strike out opposing batters, averaging 9.8 strikeouts overall and 7.4 at home. Meanwhile, the Reds have struggled to score in away games, averaging 8 runs overall but the same amount away from home. Their batting average is also lower, with 12.4 hits overall and the same on the road. Furthermore, they've been walking more batters, averaging 3.4 walks overall and the same away from home, which could limit their scoring potential. These factors combined suggest a lower scoring game, making the under 6.5 bet a sensible choice.
