Dodgers vs Brewers Prediction

The Dodgers should be favored at home, as you shouldn’t expect the two-time defending champs to go down quietly. Gasser is a pitcher with limited MLB innings overall, let alone playoff experience. Snell is a quality pitcher in the postseason and has pitched in two World Series, won one, and been in endless other big series moments. The pitching edge clearly favors the Dodgers.

However, we’re getting plus money with the Brewers, who had the best record in baseball and were the second most profitable team in the regular season. The Brewers are the most profitable team in the playoffs. Also, the Dodgers can’t hit all of a sudden, and Ohtani is a non-factor. I’ll ignore the pitching matchup and take a shot with the Brewers and the plus money based on the value.
