The Dodgers are back on track and holding the lead in the National West division in their signature style: smashing home runs.
Los Angeles is one of the teams with the most home runs this season in Major League Baseball, and on Tuesday night, Mookie Betts and Miguel Vargas each hit one to lead the team to a great victory.
After being shut down in the first game by Freddy Peralta and company, the Dodgers’ offense punished Eric Lauer early with four runs in the first three innings. A good omen for an offense that has struggled to produce against teams with good pitchers.
On the mound, the sensations were also positive. Despite Noah Syndergaard leaving the game in the second inning due to a finger cut, the bullpen did a great job, pitching eight innings with only two runs. It’s worth noting that the Dodgers’ bullpen entered the game with an ERA of 4.56, the seventh-worst collective ERA in the league.
To try and clinch the series, manager Dave Roberts is putting one of his best players on the mound this Wednesday in the form of Clayton Kershaw. The star pitcher is coming off his shortest outing of the year, working 4.2 innings with four runs against the Padres. But over his career, Kershaw has a record of 6-5 with 108 strikeouts and an ERA of 3.09 over 99.0 innings against the Brewers.
Starting pitcher: Clayton Kershaw (5-2, 2.53 EFE).
Betting on Milwaukee Brewers
- 2023 season record: 20-16.
- Moneyline: (+140).
- Spread: (+1.5, -115).
- Over/Under: 8
The Brewers missed out on another opportunity to climb up the National Central division standings, falling to the Dodgers and remaining second in the division, half a game behind the leaders. Milwaukee had won their previous two games, but overall they have been struggling, losing seven of their last nine matches.
A significant factor in this slump has been their offense, which only managed to score more than four runs in one of the seven losses, despite scoring a combined 16 runs in their two wins.
On the mound, the Brewers once again struggled, with Eric Lauer having a poor outing. He finished the game with an ERA of 4.72, a far cry from the collective pitching performance of Milwaukee, who entered the game with an ERA of 3.58. After Lauer’s departure, the Brewers’ bullpen only allowed two runs in 5.1 innings of work.
Manager Craig Counsell will be looking to win the series at home, and he has scheduled left-handed pitcher Wade Miley to take the mound. Miley has had four quality starts in six outings this season. However, his career record against the Dodgers is 4-6, with an ERA of 4.03 over 91.2 innings pitched, allowing a batting average of .266 with 17 home runs.
Starting pitcher: Wade Miley (3-1, 2.31 EFE).
JefeBet Prediction
The Brewers will have a tough time winning the series at home against a superior Dodgers team, particularly with Kershaw on the mound.
The left-handed pitcher has been in great form this season, and Milwaukee has struggled against him in the past. When you add their recent struggles to score runs, things don’t look promising for the home team.
On the other hand, Miley has also been pitching well this season, but he has struggled against the Dodgers. He has allowed many home runs against them, and the Dodgers’ offense is known for their ability to hit a lot of homers.
Prediction: Dodgers Moneyline (LAD 5 – MIL 2).
