Milwaukee Brewers vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction

I’m on the under here. I think whichever way it goes, we have a low-scoring 3-2 kind of game here. The Brewers’ pitching is a big reason why they got to where they have and I think regardless who starts here, the pitching will have to be a big part of a win as the offense is non-existent right now. On the other side, Glasnow was strong in his playoff debut last time out and I think he can have another strong showing here as well. Like I said, I think this is a first to 3 wins kind of game so give me the under here.
