The Dodgers Can Win If…
The Los Angeles Dodgers are looking to bounce back after their recent 3-1 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. Despite the loss, Shohei Ohtani shined with a home run and an RBI. Clayton Kershaw pitched six innings, allowing only two earned runs, showing he can keep games close.
The Dodgers have strong hitting stats, ranking second in the league for on-base percentage and slugging percentage. Their lineup features power hitters like Ohtani, who has 31 home runs, and Andy Pages with 17. This power at the plate gives them a solid chance to score runs and take control of the game.
Tyler Glasnow will start for the Dodgers with an ERA of 4.50. He has the potential to deliver quality innings and keep the Brewers’ hitters in check. With a strong lineup and capable pitching, the Dodgers have the tools needed to secure a win in the upcoming game.
The Brewers Can Win If…
The Milwaukee Brewers recently won 3-1 against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Jacob Misiorowski was impressive with 12 strikeouts over six innings. William Contreras led the offense with three hits, and Sal Frelick added a home run.
The Brewers have a strong chance to win with their pitching staff. Their team ERA is 3.70, ranking 9th in the league. Jose Quintana, with a 3.44 ERA, will start for the Brewers and has a solid record of 6-3 this season.
The Brewers’ lineup features players who can impact the game. Sal Frelick has a batting average of .293, while Christian Yelich has 18 home runs. The team also ranks 3rd in stolen bases, showcasing their ability to create scoring opportunities.
The Lean
The Dodgers are favored with a moneyline of -158 against the Brewers’ +134. The Dodgers have strong hitting stats, including a .258 batting average and 142 home runs, ranking them high in the league. With the Brewers’ pitching ERA at 4.35, ranked 23rd, the Dodgers are likely to win. My model projects a score of Dodgers 5, Brewers 3.
The total for the game is set at 8.5 runs. The Dodgers’ strong offense and the Brewers’ weaker pitching suggest a higher scoring game. My model projects a total of 8 runs, which is close to the line. However, considering the Dodgers’ offensive power, I recommend taking the over at 8.5 (-109).
Dodgers Turn to Returning Ace Tyler Glasnow to End Losing Streak
Desperate times call for the return of an ace. The slumping Los Angeles Dodgers, who have the best record in the National League, will look to avoid a series sweep and end their longest losing streak of the season on Wednesday afternoon as they activate right-hander Tyler Glasnow from the injured list to face the host Milwaukee Brewers.
A Crisis in LA
The Dodgers are in the middle of their worst stretch of the year, having lost a season-high five consecutive games. Their powerful offense has gone completely silent, scoring just one run in four of those five losses. On Tuesday, they were shut down by Brewers rookie sensation Jacob Misiorowski, who struck out a career-high 12 batters. Even with their recent slide, they still have one of the best records among all MLB teams.

The Glasnow Factor
Glasnow will be making his first start in over two months after being sidelined with shoulder inflammation. While his rehab starts in the minors were inconsistent, the Dodgers are excited to get their hard-throwing ace back on the mound.
“I honestly don’t know where his delivery is at,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts admitted. “I’m excited to get him back on the mound. He’s excited to be back on the mound. So we’ll see, but I’m expecting him to pitch well.” The volatility of a pitcher’s first start off the IL is a key topic in our expert betting guide.
A Tough Test in Milwaukee
Glasnow returns to face a hot Brewers team that is a season-high 12 games over .500. They will counter with veteran lefty Jose Quintana (6-3, 3.44 ERA), who has been solid this season and has an excellent 2.04 career ERA against the Dodgers. This pitching matchup will be a key focus on the scores and odds board.
