Locked On Reds - Daily Podcast On The Cincinnati Reds

The Cincinnati Reds' take on the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL Wild Card Series beginning tonight. Hunter Greene gives the Reds a shot to beat the Dodgers. Greene's dominance is due to his improved command and he will draw on his previous experience pitching at Dodger Stadium to bring him plenty of confidence against Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, and Freddie Freeman. The optimal lineup against Blake Snell is debated, with particular focus on whether to include Sal Stewart, Tyler Stephenson, and Matt McLain.

Jeff and Steve examine key roster decisions, weighing Santiago Espinal's defensive versatility against Zach Maxwell's potential impact out of the bullpen. They acknowledge the Reds as underdogs but express optimism about their chances, especially if they can exploit the Dodgers' bullpen weakness.

The hosts emphasize the importance of the Reds' aggressive baserunning and how it could pressure the Dodgers' defense. They also discuss the potential impact of the Reds' young talent and how their energy might give them an edge in the series.

Overall, the episode provides in-depth analysis of the Reds' strategy and personnel decisions heading into this crucial playoff matchup against the favored Dodgers.
