Milwaukee Brewers Betting Outlook
The Brewers are coming out of the All-Star break like a team on a mission. They’ve ripped off seven straight wins, including a dominant home sweep against these same Dodgers. Sitting just one game behind the Cubs in the NL Central, Milwaukee knows this series could set the tone for the second half.
The big concern? Outfielder Sal Frelick’s status. The team’s top hitter at .294, Frelick’s hamstring strain might keep him sidelined at least for the opener. Without him, Milwaukee’s lineup needs others to step up to keep their winning rhythm alive.
Quinn Priester (7-2, 3.55 ERA) gets the start and enters in great form, going 6-0 with a 2.70 ERA in his last nine outings. This will be his first-ever showdown with the Dodgers, and his ability to limit their big bats will be critical.
Player Prop – Brewers:
Christian Yelich Over 1.5 Total Bases – Yelich’s recent consistency at the plate gives him a good shot at producing against Glasnow’s fastball-heavy arsenal.
Los Angeles Dodgers Betting Outlook
The Dodgers had an up-and-down first half, including a shocking sweep in Milwaukee last week as part of a seven-game losing skid, their longest since 2017. However, they rebounded with back-to-back wins and now get a chance for revenge on home turf.
Tyler Glasnow (1-0, 3.52 ERA) will start after returning from a 2.5-month injury layoff. He looked sharp in his comeback outing, allowing just one earned run over five innings against Milwaukee. While Glasnow has struggled historically against the Brewers (0-2, 5.26 ERA in eight appearances), a healthier version of him could tilt the advantage back to Los Angeles.
The Dodgers’ offense, led by Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, and Will Smith, remains elite on paper but has been inconsistent. Ohtani has clubbed seven homers in his last 25 games, but Freeman’s .203 average since June 1 is a glaring slump they need to fix.
Player Prop – Dodgers:
Shohei Ohtani to Record an RBI – Even when his batting average dips, Ohtani’s knack for delivering with runners on base remains unmatched.
Game Prediction & Betting Lean
The Brewers’ momentum is impressive, but the Dodgers have both revenge and home-field advantage in their corner. Glasnow’s return and LA’s big bats make them the safer side, though Milwaukee’s offense won’t go quietly.
Final Score Prediction: Dodgers 5, Brewers 3
