Los Angeles Dodgers vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction

It’s hard to go against the Dodgers with Snell on the mound when you have no idea what’s on the other side. The Brewers are likely to go with a bullpen game. Snell has allowed 23 hits and 8 runs in his last 37 innings, and he’s had great postseason success as well. Whoever the Brewers throw out likely won’t have the edge on the mound.

However, we’re getting the Brewers at home in the plus money role, and I’ll take a bite of that regardless of the pitching matchup. The Brewers were the best team in baseball throughout the regular season, and only the Marlins earned more money than them through 162 games. It might not be sexy, and they may not have the flashy names other teams have, but the Brewers have found ways to win all year and I want favorable prices with teams that win games. Give me the home dog in game 1.
