The current betting odds have the Brewers listed as an underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Dodgers have looked great in their games this season with their 56-36 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 23-19 road record. Meanwhile, the Brewers have looked good in their games this season with their 51-40 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 28-17 home record. The Brewers already took the first game of this series since they have been the hotter team lately, and they have the better pitching matchup in this one too. The Brewers are going with Quintana in this one and he has been a solid starter for them this season. He is 6-3 with a 3.44 ERA and hasn't been giving up many runs lately. He did give up 3 earned runs in his last start, but he has looked really good lately and will be looking to bounce back at home here. The team has also won 2 of their last 3 games with him starting. The Dodgers are going with Glasnow in this one and he has looked good this season. He is 1-0 with a 4.50 ERA, but he hasn't had many starts this year either. He has looked good lately and the team has won 2 games in a row with him starting, but he did give up 2 earned runs in 1 inning in his last start and now he is going to be facing a much hotter offense here while the Dodgers have still been in their slump. The best way to place a bet here is on the Brewers to win this game.

"Shoot, I don’t think there’s a team in baseball that’s at full strength. So I just feel that with the guys we have, we just have to play better. We got to pitch better. We got to defend better. We got to take more competitive at-bats. And we’re just not doing any of those things right now." - Dave Roberts after his team’s loss against the Brewers in their game on Monday.

“A few years ago, [Andrew Vaughn] was a force and a hitter you didn’t want to face every day. He was a guy who could get you a base hit or a double to the gap, hit the ball hard. Obviously, he fell on tough times, but sometimes a new environment -- people respond all the time to failures. That’s how you get to the top.” - Pat Murphy after his team’s win against the LA Dodgers in their game on Monday.
