They enter this game with a 50-40 record overall and have a home record of 27-17. This is the 2nd game of a 3-game series with the Dodgers on Tuesday with the 1st game of this series still to be played on Monday. Their offense ranks 18th in the MLB with a .703 OPS.

The current betting odds have the Dodgers listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Dodgers have looked great in their games this season with their 56-35 record overall which has them right at the top of the NL West with one of the best records in the entire MLB. They have also been a good road team this year with their 23-18 road record. Meanwhile, the Brewers have looked good in their games this season with their 50-40 record overall which has them right near the top of the NL Central. They have also looked great in their own ballpark this year with their 27-17 home record. Both of these teams are 6-4 in their last 10 games and will have solid starters on the mound here, but the Dodgers do have the much better offense and they will be looking to bounce back after getting swept by the Astros at home. They are going with Kershaw in this one and he has looked good in his starts this season. He is 4-0 with a 3.43 ERA and is a veteran starter. He did give up 4 earned runs in his last start, but the team has still won 6 games in a row now with him starting and he will be looking to have a better start in this one. The Brewers are going with Misiorowski in this one and he has looked great in his rookie season. He is 3-1 with a 3.20 ERA and his team has had a ton of success with him starting. They have won 3 of the last 4 games that he started in, but he is still in his rookie year and doesn't have the experience to go up against one of the best lineups in the MLB here. The Dodgers are going to find ways to get to him for some runs, and he did just give up 5 earned runs in his last start too. This is a great situation for the Dodgers to bounce back in after getting swept in their last series. The best way to place a bet here is on the Dodgers to win this game.

“You know, Yoshinobu has been great. I think that he's shown the ability to beat good ballclubs, pitch big ballgames, manage stress, limit damage, all that stuff. So, yeah, I think he's back to kind of being who he is, and not surprising. I'm just really impressed with what he's done in a year and a half of being here.” - Dave Roberts on Yamamoto making the All-Star team. 

“Nobody could have predicted six innings of two-hit ball. He was sensational. Any worries anybody had about this guy being able to pitch in his future or whatever -- wow. He came back with a focus and mentality that is good for every pitcher to see out there. For [Jacob] Misiorowski to watch that out there? For [Quinn] Priester? They’re like, ‘Whoa, that’s the big fuss about Big Woo.’” - Pat Murphy after his team’s win against the Marlins in their game on Sunday.
