Los Angeles Dodgers Betting Preview

The Los Angeles Dodgers (56-36, 23-19 Away) were enjoying a good run in June and opened July wth a sweep of the Chicago White Sox, but then were swept by the Houston Astros at home. The Dodgers are now on a four-game losing skid following a massive 9-1 defeat to the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 1 last night. Esteury Ruiz drove in the lone run for the offense, while Yoshinobu Yamamoto took the loss after allowing five runs (three earned) on four hits with no strikeouts and two walks in 0.2 innings.

This season, the Dodgers average 5.45 runs per game (2nd in the MLB) on a .260/.335/.453 triple-slash. When it comes to pitching, the Dodgers’ staff has a 4.36 ERA (23rd) and 1.32 WHIP (20th). Andy Pages leads the Dodgers with a .288 batting average, 17 home runs, and 58 RBI this season.

Clayton Kershaw will take the mound for the Dodgers on Tuesday. The 37-year-old left-hander has a 4-0 record in nine starts this year with a 3.43 ERA and 1.25 WHIP in 44.2 innings.

The Milwaukee Brewers (51-40, 28-17 Home) lost to the New York Mets and defeated the Miami Marlins on the road before opening this home series against the Los Angeles Dodgers with a convincing 9-1 victory on Monday. Andrew Vaughn led the offense with a three-run homer, while Freddy Peralta got the win after allowing no runs on five hits with seven strikeouts and one walk across 6.0 innings of work.

This year, the Brewers average 4.71 runs per game (8th in the MLB) on a .247/.322/.382 triple-slash. When it comes to pitching, the Brewers’ staff has a 3.73 ERA (10th) and 1.26 WHIP (16th). Christian Yelich leads the Brewers with a .260 batting average, 18 home runs, and 63 RBI this season.

Dodgers vs Brewers Prediction

The Dodgers won six of the previous ten H2H encounters, but the Brewers were better in the last three. Although we didn’t have an Under in the past four H2H duels (one Push), I am backing Under in this one for a couple of reasons. First, the Dodgers have struggled offensively recently, scoring just seven runs in their last four games. Second, I like this pitching matchup for a low-scoring affair. Clayton Kershaw will be looking to bounce back from four earned runs against the White Sox; he hasn’t allowed more than three in seven straight starts before that. On the other hand, Jacob Misiorowski was fantastic in his first three starts in the MLB before surrendering five runs in 3.2 innings against the Mets. He will also try to respond here. I don’t think the teams will combine for more than eight runs.
