Brewers vs Dodgers Prediction
The current betting odds have the Brewers listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Dodgers have looked great in their games this season with their 73-49 record overall which has them right at the top of the NL West with one of the best records in MLB. They have looked great in their own ballpark too with their 36-24 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Brewers have looked great in their games this season with their 75-47 record overall which has them right at the top of the NL Central with one of the best records in MLB. They have been a good road team too with their 34-25 road record this year. The Brewers just got swept by the Padres in their last series, but they are still 6-4 in their last 10 games and have been the hotter team lately. The Dodgers have been in a big slump lately, now 4-6 in their last 10 games, and they did lose the 1st game of this series already. The Brewers are going with Misiorowski in this one and he has looked great this season. He is 11-5 with a 1.76 ERA and he has been their ace this year. He did give up 3 earned runs in his last start, but that hasn't been a common theme for him this season and the team has still been having a ton of success with him lately, winning 4 of their last 5 games with him starting. The Dodgers are going with Wrobleski in this one and he has looked good this season. He is 11-4 with a 3.44 ERA, but the team hasn't been having a ton of success with him lately. They have lost 3 of their last 4 games with him starting now and he is coming off a bad start in which he gave up 3 earned runs. This is a pitching matchup that the Brewers can take advantage of while the Dodgers have been going through a rough patch. The best way to place a bet here is on the Brewers to win this game.
