Brewers vs Dodgers Prediction
The current betting odds have the Brewers listed as a slight underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Brewers have looked great in their games this season with their 52-36 record overall which leads the NL Central with one of the best records in the entire MLB. They haven't looked as good in their road games with their 25-23 road record though. Meanwhile, the Dodgers have looked great in their games this season with their 53-35 record overall which leads the NL West with one of the best records in the entire MLB, and they are also 26-18 in their home games. The Dodgers have looked a lot better in their home games this year, but they just lost their last series to the Diamondbacks there and have been cooling off lately. They don't have a great pitching matchup here either with Paxton on the mound. Paxton started the season pitching really well, but now he is 7-2 with a 4.28 ERA and has been giving up more runs lately. He has had a few bad starts in June and is coming off another bad start in his last one, giving up 9 earned runs in 4 innings against the Giants. The Brewers are going with Peralta here and he has looked a lot better lately. He is 6-4 with a 3.83 ERA and the team has won their last 3 games with him starting. He only gave up 1 earned run in his last start and hasn't been giving up many runs lately which is going to help a lot since the Dodgers have one of the best offenses in the MLB but haven't been hitting well lately. This is a game that the Brewers can take advantage of the slumping Dodgers in. The best way to place a bet here is on the Brewers to win this game.
