The Milwaukee Brewers and the Los Angeles Dodgers meet in MLB action from Dodger Stadium on Saturday night.
The Milwaukee Brewers will try to rebound from an 8-6 loss at the hands of the Dodgers on Friday. Avisail Garcia leads the Brewers with a .263 batting average, 29 home runs and 85 RBIs while Luis Urias has a .342 OBP, a team-high 122 hits, 23 home runs and 75 RBIs. Jackie Bradley Jr. has a team-high 3 triples but also leads Milwaukee with 129 strikeouts at the plate this season. Corbin Burnes will start here and is 11-4 with a 2.29 ERA and 230 strikeouts this season.
The Los Angeles Dodgers will be out to add to their win over the Brew Crew from Friday night’s action. Justin Turner leads the way with a .278 batting average and 146 hits while Max Muncy leads Los Angeles with 36 home runs and 93 RBIs this season. Mookie Betts also has a team-best .371 OBP while also leading the Dodgers with 29 doubles and Chris Taylor has a team-high 4 triples this season. Julio Urias will start for Los Angeles here and is 19-3 with a 3.01 ERA and 188 strikeouts this season.
Milwaukee is 12-3 in their last 15 game two matchups and 5-2 in their last 7 games against a left-handed starter while the under is 4-1 in their last 5 games against the NL West. Los Angeles is 40-12 in their last 52 games overall and 37-13 in their last 51 home games while the over is 5-1-1 in their last 7 game two matchups.
This is an interesting game and a potential playoff preview as both sides are hoping to make deep playoff runs here. With that said, the Dodgers are the team with something t play for as the Brewers are pretty much locked into the second spot in the NL standings. I also like the dark horse element that Julio Urias has brought to the table and while Corbin Burnes is solid, Urias has just been better. Give me the Dodgers here.
