Brewers at Dodgers picks and predictions
Prediction
Dodgers 7, Brewers 4
Moneyline
The Dodgers (-225) will probably get their 9th straight win, but there’s no need to pay the higher price on the moneyline when they should win by multiple runs.
PASS. Bet the run line and/or the total instead.
Run line/Against the spread
The Dodgers’ last 3 wins have been by 3 or more runs, and the Brewers’ last 3 losses have also been by a minimum of 3 runs. The Dodgers are 48-35 (57.8%) on the run line this season vs. NL teams (per Teamrankings.com), while Milwaukee is just 38-43 (46.9%).
BET DODGERS -1.5 (-115).
