Milwaukee Brewers Betting Preview
The Milwaukee Brewers (58-40, 25-23 Away) ended the first half of the season with seven wins in a row after defeating the Marlins on the road and then sweeping the Dodgers and Nationals at home. Milwaukee added two more wins to start the second half and to win a series against the Dodgers again. In last night’s 8-7 victory, William Contreras, Andrew Vaughn, and Joey Ortiz led the offense with two RBI apiece, while Freddy Peralta got the win after allowing four runs on five hits with four strikeouts and three walks across 5.0 innings of work.

The Los Angeles Dodgers (58-41, 33-19 Home) were swept by the Houston Astros and Milwaukee Brewers, but responded with a series win over the San Francisco Giants to finish the first half. However, the Dodgers returned to losing ways in back-to-back losses to the Brewers. In Saturday’s 8-7 defeat, Shohei Ohtani led the offense with three RBI, while Emmet Sheehan took the loss after allowing five runs on seven hits with three strikeouts and one walk in 3.0 innings.
This season, the Dodgers average 5.29 runs per game (2nd in the MLB) on a .255/.330/.442 triple-slash. When it comes to pitching, the Dodgers’ staff has a 4.27 ERA (23rd) and 1.31 WHIP (21st). Shohei Ohtani leads the Dodgers with a .274 batting average, 33 home runs, and 63 RBI this season.

Brewers vs Dodgers Prediction
The Brewers won eight of the previous ten H2H encounters, including the last seven, while this season, Milwaukee won all five duels. Three of the last four went Under, and I am backing another Under in this one. Jose Quintana allowed eight runs in his previous four starts, while he surrendered only one in 6.0 innings in his latest start, which happened to be against the Dodgers. Clayton Kershaw, on the other hand, also had his latest start against the Brewers, and allowed two runs in 6.0 innings. The future Hall of Famer earned his All-Star call after posting a 2.28 ERA in June. Both pitchers are in a good place at the moment, so I am going with Under.
