Dodgers vs Brewers Prediction
The Brewers won seven of the previous ten H2H encounters, including the last six, while this season, Milwaukee leads 4-0. Three of those four duels went Under, and considering the pitching matchup, I am going with another Under in this one. Freddy Peralta has been fantastic this season, and he allowed just three runs in his last three starts, all quality starts. Peralta already faced teh Dodgers this year and shut them out in 6.0 innings in a 9-1 win. Emmet Sheehan, on the other hand, surrendered one run in each of his three appearances this season, so I expect him to do a fine job today as well. Back the Under.
