Dodgers at Brewers picks and predictions
Prediction
Dodgers 6, Brewers 4
Moneyline
Buehler returns after missing nearly 2 months with a hip injury. The Dodgers were 4-4 in his 8 starts before he landed on the injured list.
They have held the Brewers to 3 or fewer runs in their last 4 meetings this season.
The Brewers have scored 8 combined runs in their last 4 games.
Betting the Dodgers to win straight at -135 odds isn’t bad, but with plus odds on the run line that seems a pretty sure bet, you are better taking the value there.
PASS.
Run line/Against the spread
Nine of the Dodgers’ last 11 wins have been by 2 or more runs and 8 of the Brewers’ last 10 losses have been by 2 or more runs.
The Dodgers are 25-22 ATS as road favorites while the Brewers are 8-9 ATS as home underdogs.
All 4 of the Dodgers’ wins over the Brewers this season have been by 2-plus runs.
BET DODGERS -1.5 (+125).
Over/Under
The last 6 starts for Montas have had totals in double digits.
While only 1 game between the 2 teams this season has surpassed 9 runs, 7 of the Brewers’ last 11 have had 9 or more total runs. And 4 of the Dodgers’ last 6 games have reached 9 total runs.
BET OVER 9 (-110).
