Brewers vs Dodgers Prediction

The Brewers are playing fantastic baseball and Henderson is off to a fine start. The Brewers will be eager to make a statement against the Dodgers. However, Henderson does just have 18 innings under his belt this season, so let’s pump the breaks a bit. Wrobleski is far more trustworthy with his 50.2 innings and a 2.49 ERA and 1.03 WHIP. Also, we’re getting the Dodgers at a pick ’em price, something you’re not going to get much of this season. Usually you’re laying -150 or -200 with the Dodgers and it’s why they’re going to be losers on the season profit-wise. At these prices, though, you have to side with the Dodgers.
