Milwaukee Brewers vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
I’m on the over in this one. These are two starting pitchers I don’t trust right now in Drohan and Sasaki, against two lineups that can hit them fairly well. The Brewers had a sluggish showing against San Diego but I don’t expect them to stay down for long, and the Dodgers are always potent, so Drohan could be in a rough spot as well. I’ll side with the over here.
