Brewers vs Dodgers Prediction
Milwaukee comes into this matchup looking to take a commanding 3-0 series lead with a win here. The Brewers were 48-33 on the road this year, while the Dodgers were 51-30 at home. Los Angeles has been pretty bad at the plate through six playoff games and they need to start hitting with guys on base. The Dodgers are starting Snell, who has allowed one earned run or fewer in five straight outings, while Gasser has allowed one earned run or fewer in five straight starts. I think we are going to see another lower scoring game here, so I like the under in this one.
