Brewers vs Dodgers Prediction
The current betting odds have the Dodgers listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Dodgers have looked great in their games this season with their 100-62 record overall which had 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 51-30 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Brewers have looked great in their games this season with their 103-59 record overall which had them right at the top of the NL Central with the best record in MLB. They have been a great road team too with their 48-33 road record this year. The Brewers are entering this game with a 2-0 series lead after winning game 2 of this series by a score of 7-4. The Brewers have been rolling lately with a ton of momentum, now 9-1 in their last 10 games, but the Dodgers will be looking to bounce back after coming home empty handed after the first 2 games. The Brewers used their best starters in those 2 games too, but now this is a pitching matchup that the Dodgers can take advantage of. The Brewers are going with Gasser in this one and he hasn't looked great this season. He is 5-5 with a 3.87 ERA and he has looked shaky this year. He only gave up 1 earned run in his last start and the team has won 3 games in a row now with him starting, but that hasn't been a common theme for him all year and he is going to give up runs against one of the best offenses in MLB. The Dodgers are also going with Snell in this one and he has looked great this season. He is 4-1 with a 1.90 ERA and he hasn't been giving up many runs all year. The team has lost 2 of their last 3 games with him pitching in it, but he only gave up 1 earned run in his last appearance and that has been a common theme for him. Look for the Dodgers to bounce back at home and avoid going into a 3-0 hole in this series. The best way to place a bet here is on the Dodgers to win this game.
