Milwaukee Brewers vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
I’m on the Brewers here. I know the Dodgers salvaged a couple of wins before the break, and probably would love some revenge here after the Brewers swept them when these teams met at the beginning of the month. However, the Brewers are playing too well right now to ignore, and have been able to back up Quinn Priester in a lot of his starts as of late. Glasnow pitched well, but the Dodgers’ bullpen let it get away when Glasnow pitched against the Brewers, and I think the Brewers have the late-game edge in relief, so I’ll take my chances with Milwaukee here.
