Milwaukee Brewers vs LA Dodgers Prediction
Los Angeles picked up a very nice win in game one of this series on Monday and they will go for five wins in a row here. The Dodgers just hit the 70 win mark, but the Padres and Diamondbacks are right on their tails. LA is 32-27 on the road, while Milwaukee is 33-23 at home. The Brewers have a comfortable lead in the Central and they are starting Rea, who has been very good in his last four outings. The Dodgers are turning to Gavin Stone, who really hasn’t been very good since early July. I think Milwaukee has the pitching advantage in this game and my Milwaukee Brewers vs LA Dodgers prediction is for the Brewers to win.
