Dodgers vs Brewers Prediction 
Los Angeles comes into this series after a rough weekend at home against the Astros, where they allowed 29 runs in three games. The Dodgers are 23-18 on the road this year, while the Brewers are 27-17 at home. Milwaukee is starting Peralta, who has allowed three earned runs or fewer in five straight starts. LA is going with Yamamoto, who has allowed a total of one earned run in his last two outings. Both of these pitchers have been very good this year, but I am going to give the edge to Milwaukee at home, as the LA pitching issues continue.
