Cincinnati Reds at Los Angeles Dodgers – Where to Watch, Stream Info, TV Channel, and Live Updates (September 07, 2026)

The Dodgers are rolling. Four straight wins, a sweep of Washington behind them, and a rotation that just got a jolt from Blake Snell’s six scoreless innings. Los Angeles sits at 86-57, holding the division lead and pressing Milwaukee for the top seed in the National League. This is a team that looks like it’s finding another gear at exactly the right moment.

Cincinnati arrives having won seven of its last ten — a run of form that deserves more attention than the standings might suggest. The Reds are 69-74, but they’re playing with purpose, and Sal Stewart has been a force all season with 31 home runs and 107 RBI. On the other side, Freddie Freeman is hitting .301 with 156 hits, and Max Muncy has quietly put together a 26-homer, 68-RBI campaign. Shohei Ohtani is listed day-to-day with a biceps issue, which adds a layer of uncertainty to a Dodger lineup that rarely has to think about missing pieces.

Chase Burns takes the ball for Cincinnati — 15 wins, 171 strikeouts — against a Dodger offense that has been clicking. The Reds are managing his innings carefully down the stretch, which makes every start he makes count that much more.

What to Watch For

Chase Burns is the player to watch on the Cincinnati side. His 15 wins and 171 strikeouts make him one of the more productive starters in the National League this season, and with the Reds managing his workload down the stretch, each outing carries added weight. He’s facing a Dodger lineup that has been producing — Freeman at .301, Muncy with 26 home runs, and Kyle Tucker, who has 12 home runs and 59 RBI on the year.

Ohtani’s day-to-day status with a biceps issue bears watching. He’s been one of the most productive hitters in baseball this season, and his absence would reshape how the Dodgers construct their lineup. Tommy Edman and Teoscar Hernández have shown they can pick up the slack — both delivered in the Washington series — but Ohtani’s presence changes the calculus for any opposing pitcher.

For the Reds, Stewart’s 31 home runs and 107 RBI represent genuine middle-of-the-order production, and Elly De La Cruz brings a different dimension with 86 runs scored and 24 stolen bases. The Dodgers’ bullpen, anchored by Tanner Scott’s 21 saves, will be tested if Burns exits early under his innings limit.
