Brewers at Dodgers picks and predictions
Prediction
Dodgers 6, Brewers 4
Money line
PASS on the money line. The Dodgers are just too good at home and the Brewers are only 34-33 on the road.
Houser has not been great and, while Heaney was knocked around a little in his last start, he has been great otherwise. He doesn’t get deep into games, but the Dodgers’ bullpen is 3rd in baseball with a 3.06 ERA.
The Dodgers should win this game but it isn’t worth any action at that price.

Run line/Against the spread
The Dodgers have the 2nd-best ATS recording in MLB at 76-46 overall and the 2nd-best home ATS record at 38-22. Of their 85 wins this season, 77 have been by 2 or more runs.
Basically, if the spread is a standard -1.5 and you like the Dodgers to win, you take them to cover.
Take the DODGERS -1.5 (-120).
Over/Under
Six of Heaney’s 8 starts have had totals of 9 or more runs.
Six of Houser’s last 7 starts have had 9 or more runs.
Half of the Dodgers’ last 14 games have had 9 or more total runs.
Half of the Brewers’ last 10 games have had 9 or more runs.
I lean OVER 8.5 (-105).
