In this article, we will formulate a Brewers vs Dodgers prediction for this MLB game on Monday, July 7, at American Family Field in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this MLB matchup.
Los Angeles Dodgers Betting Preview
The Los Angeles Dodgers (56-35, 23-18 Away) were enjoying an excellent run in June and opened July wth a sweep of the Chicago White Sox, but then were swept by the Houston Astros at home. The best offense in the MLB scored just six runs in those three losses, including one in the latest 5-1 defeat. Dalton Rushing drove in the lone run, while Emmet Sheehan pitched for 5.0 innings in a no-decision, allowing one run on five hits with four strikeuots and one walk. Will Klein took the loss.
This season, the Dodgers average 5.49 runs per game (1st in the MLB) on a .260/.336/.454 triple-slash. When it comes to pitching, the Dodgers’ staff has a 4.33 ERA (23rd) and 1.32 WHIP (20th). Andy Pages leads the Dodgers with a .290 batting average, 17 home runs, and 58 RBI this season.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto will take the mound for the Dodgers on Monday. The 26-year-old right-hander has an 8-6 record in 17 starts this year with a 2.51 ERA and 1.01 WHIP in 96.2 innings.
Milwaukee Brewers Betting Preview
The Milwaukee Brewers (50-40, 27-17 Home) returned home from a two-series road trip, on which they lost to the New York Mets and beat the Miami Marlins. Milwaukee won 3-1 in a rubber match on Sunday. Jackson Chourio drove all three runs for the offense, while Brandon Woodruff got the win after allowing one run on two hits with eight strikeouts and no walks across 6.0 innings of work.
This year, the Brewers average 4.67 runs per game (8th in the MLB) on a .247/.322/.381 triple-slash. When it comes to pitching, the Brewers’ staff has a 3.77 ERA (10th) and 1.27 WHIP (16th). Christian Yelich leads the Brewers with a .260 batting average, 17 home runs, and 61 RBI this season.

Brewers vs Dodgers Prediction
The Dodgers won seven of the previous ten H2H encounters, but the Brewers were better in the last two. Los Angeles is 3-7 Over/Under in its last ten games, while Milwaukee is 4-6 Over/Under in its previous ten. I am going with another Under here because of the starters. Yoshinobu Yamamoto allowed just one run in his last two starts and is the best available starter the Dodgers have at the moment. Freddy Peralta, on the other hand, had a decent June, posting a 3.21 ERA, while he hasn’t allowed more than three runs in his previous nine starts. Go with Under.
