Brewers vs Dodgers Prediction
The Dodgers are going to get the benefit of the doubt, especially with Kershaw on the bump, but they’ve lost four straight games and have scored one run in three of those contests. Kershaw also still has a small sample size, as he’s still working his way back. The Brewers are not only playing the better ball right now, but Misiorowski is having a strong rookie season, and that includes 10 home innings where he’s allowed just two hits and zero runs. I’ll take a shot with the Brewers and plus money at home.
