Aaron Civale gets the ball for the Milwaukee Brewers, and he is 2-6 with a 5.07 ERA and 84 strikeouts this season. Civale has allowed 28 hits and 12 runs in his last 25 innings.

LA Dodgers vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction
Tyler Glasnow has been solid this season, and he’s been even sharper at home. As good as the Brewers are and the fact you’re not going to get them at these prices often, who knows what to expect from Aaron Civale. He was traded from the Rays like 24 hours ago and is now expected to go on the road and pitch well against the best lineup in baseball. It’s a quick adjustment and a tall order, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see some struggles from Civale, who already has an ERA over 5 on the season. Give me the Dodgers, and I’ll lay the RL to shave down the juice.
