Run line/Against the spread
The Dodgers are 75-42 ATS on the season and 37-22 ATS on the road.
Expecting a straight-up win from the Dodgers in a game in which they are the underdog, PASS on the run line. You have to bet double what you can win when you have positive odds on the money line.
Over/Under
The Dodgers have scored 8 or more runs themselves in 8 of their last 14 games. Twelve of their last 19 games have had totals of 9 or more runs.
Only 1 of the Brewers’ last 7 games has had 9 or more total runs.
The L.A. offense is too consistent lately to think this will be too low-scoring a game.
Take OVER 8.5 (+100).
