Los Angeles will open Game 1 with left-hander Blake Snell, who was 5-4 with a 2.35 ERA in the regular season. Cincinnati will counter with a Los Angeles-area native in right-hander Hunter Greene (7-4, 2.76), who was key in the Reds' September push to the playoffs.
Snell is 2-0 with a 1.80 ERA in two career starts against the Reds, including a no-hitter last season when he was with the San Francisco Giants.
But Cincinnati is pitching as well as anybody with Greene and another LA-area native in left-hander Nick Lodolo leading the way, not to mention lefty starter Andrew Abbott. Greene is 1-3 with a 4.55 ERA in five career starts against Los Angeles.
Cincinnati had not been swept in 43 consecutive series until losing all three games at Los Angeles from Aug. 25-27. The Dodgers went 5-1 in the season series.
