Los Angeles Dodgers vs Milwaukee Brewers MLB Picks, Odds, Predictions 10/3/2021

The Milwaukee Brewers and the Los Angeles Dodgers meet in MLB action from Dodger Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The Milwaukee Brewers come into this one looking to end the season on a high note after a decline to end the year. Avisail Garcia leads the Brewers with a .263 batting average, 29 home runs and 85 RBIs while Luis Urias has a .345 OBP, 23 home runs, 75 RBIs and a team-high 122 hits. Kolten Wong has 121 hits with a team-high 32 doubles while Jackie Bradley Jr. has a team-high 3 triples but also leads Milwaukee with 130 strikeouts at the plate this season. The Brewers did not have a starting pitcher announced at the time that this article was published.

The Los Angeles Dodgers will look to put pressure on the Giants on the last day of the season to lock up the division instead of playing in the wild card game. Justin Turner leads the way with a .279 batting average and 148 hits while Max Muncy leads Los Angeles with 36 home runs and 94 RBIs and also has a team-best .369 OBP while Mookie Betts is leading the Dodgers with 29 doubles and Chris Taylor has a team-high 4 triples this season. Walker Buehler will start here and is 15-4 with a 2.49 ERA and 201 strikeouts this season.

Milwaukee is 1-6 in their last 7 road games while the under is 15-5 in their last 20 October games. The over is 5-2 in Los Angeles’ last 7 games overall and 4-1 in their last 5 games against the NL.

The Dodgers are looking like a team that’s taking this division race seriously, while the Brewers look like a team that’s resigned to their 2^nd spot in the NL standings, a spot they’ve been locked into for the last week pretty much. I think Sunday plays out no different as the Dodgers need to win, as it’s their only way to put pressure on the Giants in the division race with everyone playing at the same time on Sunday. Give me Los Angeles here.
