Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Milwaukee Brewers Prediction
I’m on the over in this one. Sasaki benefitted from a start against the lowly Angels in his last outing, but he’s still had control issues for much of the season to where I’m not comfortable backing him against a hot Brewers team that has been mashing righties as of late. On the other side, I don’t love this matchup for Robert Gasser and the Dodgers have been really solid against lefties this season as well. All in all I’m expecting runs here so give me the over.
