Brewers vs Dodgers Prediction
The Royals are 6-1 in their last 7 meetings against the Angels and have won two of their last three visits in Los Angeles.
In this Brewers vs Dodgers Prediction, both teams are coming at a pickem price. I like the Dodgers in a bounce-back spot today at home with Yamamoto on the mound, who has been the superior pitching option that Robert Gasser and his 5.87 road ERA. The Brewers are averaging just 3 runs per game in their last 5 games, while the Dodgers have been much better against lefties lately. Take the Dodgers at home in this one.
