Milwaukee Brewers Betting Outlook
Milwaukee is aiming for its 10th straight win and a rare 6-0 sweep of the Dodgers in the season series. The Brewers held off Los Angeles on Saturday with an 8-7 victory, highlighted by home runs from Isaac Collins and Joey Ortiz, plus a clutch two-run double from William Contreras.
Despite starter Freddy Peralta giving up four runs, the bullpen held firm, with Trevor Megill locking down his 23rd save. Hungry to reclaim their NL Central lead, the Brewers have shown resilience and balanced offense in key moments.
Jose Quintana (6-3, 3.28 ERA) gets the start, coming off a stellar outing against these same Dodgers, where he allowed just one run on two hits over six innings. Historically, Quintana has pitched well against LA, owning a 3-2 record with a 2.00 ERA in 14 career appearances.
Player Prop Pick – Brewers:
William Contreras to Record a Hit – Contreras has been consistently productive at the plate and remains a key part of Milwaukee’s offense.
Los Angeles Dodgers Betting Outlook
The Dodgers are desperate to snap out of their funk, losing nine of their last 11 games and five straight at home. Even with home runs from Shohei Ohtani, Tommy Edman, and Miguel Rojas on Saturday, they still fell short against Milwaukee’s sharp bullpen.
Clayton Kershaw (4-1, 3.38 ERA) will start for Los Angeles. The veteran lefty was strong in his last outing against Milwaukee, giving up two runs in six innings, but took his only loss of the season. Kershaw’s career numbers against the Brewers remain solid, with a 9-6 record, 2.86 ERA, and 127 strikeouts over 122 2/3 innings.
Mookie Betts, who’s been in a hitting slump (3-for-28 in his last seven games), is expected back in the lineup after a rest day. The Dodgers will need his spark to avoid being swept at home.
Player Prop Pick – Dodgers:
Shohei Ohtani Over 1.5 Total Bases – Ohtani’s power bat remains the biggest threat to Milwaukee’s pitching staff.
Game Prediction & Betting Lean
The Brewers have momentum and Quintana’s recent success against LA, but Kershaw’s track record at Dodger Stadium is hard to bet against. Expect a tightly contested game with Los Angeles edging out Milwaukee in a must-win scenario.
