Dodgers vs Brewers Prediction
Milwaukee comes into this matchup just one win away from making the World Series and they have scored 13 runs in their last two games. The Brewers were 48-33 on the road this year, while the Dodgers were 51-30 at home. Los Angeles continues to have problems at the plate, as they have been miserable with runners on base. The Brewers haven’t announced their starter, while Glasnow has allowed 1, 3, 2, 4, and 4 earned runs in his last five outings. Take the over here, as I think Glasnow could have some more troubles.
