Milwaukee Brewers vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction

I’m on the Dodgers in this one. I just think Yamamoto is heads and shoulders the better starting option in this game, and I think the Dodgers get to Gasser a lot more than the Brewers get to Yamamoto. This should be a great series, and a potential playoff preview, but I’m backing the Dodgers for the bounce back here.
