It is not often that you will see the Dodgers as dogs but this is one of those cases and I like the favorites, the Brewers, here. Ryan Pepiot owns a 3.92 ERA but a 5.25 FIP and a 5.51 xFIP. Pepiot has a big-time issue with allowing walks as he currently owns a 6.53 BB/9. That is bad news facing a Brewers lineup that is #2 in the last 30 days in BB % as a team vs. RHP. The Dodgers have a strong lineup, but the Brewers have been just as strong vs. RHP in the last month. Woodruff pitches very well at home and his advanced numbers are sharp. The Dodgers rarely have a "bad" day at the dish, and I still think they show up in this game offensively; however, I think the Brewers' offense gets to Pepiot and forces a very difficult day for the Dodgers' pen. The Brewers conserved most of their bullpen on Monday and should have their closer and one of the top relievers in the game, Devin Williams, available if this game is close late. I like the Brewers' chances to grab a very important home victory here on Tuesday night. Good luck and thank you for your support!
