The Brewers Can Win If…
The Milwaukee Brewers are coming off a strong performance against the Washington Nationals, winning 8-1. Freddy Peralta led the way with 6 2/3 innings, allowing just one run and striking out seven. Jackson Chourio and Brice Turang contributed with home runs, adding power to the lineup.
The Brewers have been effective this season with a team batting average of .248, ranking 10th in the league. Their ability to get on base is evident with a .321 on-base percentage, placing them 9th. Speed is also a factor, as they are 2nd in the league with 110 stolen bases, making them a threat on the base paths.
On the mound, Freddy Peralta is set to start with an impressive 2.66 ERA and a record of 11-4. The Brewers’ pitching staff holds a team ERA of 3.66, ranked 7th, and has held opponents to a .234 batting average, which is 4th best. Their pitchers have also managed to strike out 831 batters, ranking 9th, showcasing their ability to dominate from the mound.
The Dodgers Can Win If…
The Los Angeles Dodgers recently won against the San Francisco Giants with a score of 5-2. Yoshinobu Yamamoto was strong on the mound, pitching seven innings and allowing no runs. Freddie Freeman contributed with two hits and two RBIs, while Miguel Rojas added a home run.
The Dodgers have a strong lineup with a team batting average of .256, ranking them third in the league. They are also second in on-base percentage at .330 and slugging percentage at .445. Their ability to hit home runs, with 145 this season, is a key factor in their offensive success.
Emmet Sheehan will start for the Dodgers in the upcoming game. He has been effective with an ERA of 2.02 and a WHIP of 1.05. The combination of Sheehan’s pitching and the Dodgers’ powerful lineup gives them a solid chance to win the game.
The Lean
The Dodgers are favored with a moneyline of -133, while the Brewers are at +114. The Dodgers have a stronger hitting lineup, ranking 3rd in batting average and 2nd in slugging percentage. The Brewers, meanwhile, rank 10th and 20th in these categories. My model projects the Dodgers to win with a score of 5-3, making the Dodgers a solid pick on the moneyline.
The total for the game is set at 8.5 runs. The Dodgers’ pitching has an ERA of 4.29, which ranks 23rd, while the Brewers’ pitching ranks 7th with an ERA of 3.66. Given the Dodgers’ strong offense and the Brewers’ solid pitching, my model projects a total of 8 runs. This suggests taking the under at 8.5 runs (+101) is a reasonable choice.

Red-Hot Brewers Put 8-Game Winning Streak on the Line vs. Slumping Dodgers
The Milwaukee Brewers are the hottest team in the National League, and they will look to continue their incredible run on Saturday. Riding an eight-game winning streak, the Milwaukee Brewers will try to clinch a series victory against the host and slumping Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Brewer Buzzsaw
The Brewers opened the second half just like they ended the first: with a dominant victory. They shut out the powerful Dodgers 2-0 in the series opener on Friday, a game in which their young pitcher, Quinn Priester, racked up 10 strikeouts. The win was Milwaukee’s eighth in a row, a streak that has seen them surge in the NL Central standings. Their offense has been led by Christian Yelich, who extended his on-base streak to 25 games.
A “Perfect Storm” in LA
While the Brewers are surging, the Dodgers are in a rare and frustrating slump. They were shut out on just three hits in the series opener, and their potent offense has gone quiet. Star first baseman Freddie Freeman, who hit just .203 in June, continues to struggle.
“It’s one of those perfect storms in the sense that some guys haven’t been swinging the bats well and you’re running into good pitching,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “But tomorrow is a new day and we have to reset and be ready because those guys aren’t going to feel sorry for us.”
A Duel of All-Stars (Present & Future)
Saturday’s pitching matchup is a fantastic one. The Brewers will send their ace and two-time All-Star, Freddy Peralta (11-4, 2.66 ERA), to the mound. Peralta is on a six-start personal winning streak and threw six scoreless innings against these same Dodgers in their last meeting.
The Dodgers will counter with young right-hander Emmet Sheehan (1-0, 2.03), who is making an “audition” to remain in the rotation with other aces nearing a return from injury. This pitching duel will be a key focus on the scores and odds board.
For two of the best MLB teams in the National League, this series is a major test. The psychology of a team in a deep slump is a key topic in our expert betting guide. To see if our experts think the Brewers’ streak will continue, check out our daily MLB picks.
