Dodgers at Brewers picks and predictions
Prediction
Brewers 4, Dodgers 3
Moneyline
The BREWERS (+108) are a nice value as short ‘dogs at home behind the 10-game winner Rea.
This should be a well-pitched game as Stone has been fairly consistent for the Dodgers (-126), too. While Los Angeles has won 3 of 4 meetings against Milwaukee this season, Rea has been sharp at home, and he is the reason for the play.
Run line/Against the spread
The BREWERS +1.5 (-162) are a decent play if you’re a little more on the conservative side, and you want a little insurance because you just can’t fathom playing them straight up.
Milwaukee is just 2-4 in the past 6 games at home, so it makes sense to be a little nervous picking it straight up. The Brewers are 4-1 in the past 5 games as underdogs on the run line, winning 4 times outright, too.

Over/Under
UNDER 8.5 (+100) is a solid play in Game 2 of this series.
The Under cashed in the series opener, as the teams combined for just 7 runs on a line of 8.5. The Under has connected in 3 straight outings for the Brew Crew.
The Under has cashed in 2 of the past 3 outings for the Dodgers, with the offense averaging 5.0 runs per game (RPG), while allowing just 2.7 RPG in the 3-game span.
