Betting on Los Angeles Dodgers
- 2023 Regular Season Record: 21-15
- Moneyline: (-115)
- Spread: (-1.5, +145)
- Over/Under: 9
Despite Monday’s defeat, the Dodgers enter this matchup as leaders of the National League West division after winning nine of the last ten games before arriving in Milwaukee.
After allowing five runs or less in nine of the last ten games, the Dodgers’ pitching, particularly the relievers, had a poor performance against the Brewers’ offense, conceding six runs in two innings of work.
This reminds us of the Dodgers’ difficult start on the mound, as they remain with a collective ERA above 4.20, and are one of the ten teams with the most home runs allowed with 36.
To start Tuesday’s game and try to even the series, manager Dave Roberts will send right-hander Noah Syndergaard to the mound, who has allowed at least one run in each of his six starts. The good news is that the experienced pitcher has a lifetime ERA of 2.76 against the Milwaukee Brewers, with 40 strikeouts and just three home runs allowed in 29.1 innings pitched.
On the offensive side, the Dodgers haven’t scored more than three runs for the third consecutive game, although in the previous games, that wasn’t a problem thanks to the good work of the pitching staff.
Starting Pitcher: Noah Syndergaard (1-3, 6.32 EFE)
Betting on Milwaukee Brewers
- 2023 Regular Season Record: 20-15
- Moneyline: (-105)
- Spread: (+1.5, -170)
- Over/Under: 9
The Brewers clinched their second consecutive victory on Monday, moving within half a game of the Pirates in the National League Central Division lead.
The offense had another impressive night, scoring seven runs against the Giants on Sunday and adding nine more against the Dodgers thanks to a great performance from rookie Joey Wiemer. The center fielder went 3-2 with his third homer of the year and four RBIs.
This is great news for an offense that has struggled to produce in recent weeks and has not been able to support a solid pitching staff. In fact, the Brewers have the sixth-best collective ERA in the league at 3.58, and are fourth in quality starts with 16.
With the goal of winning the series, manager Craig Counsell will send left-hander Eric Lauer to the mound. Lauer has not performed well in his last few outings, allowing eight runs in 7.1 innings. However, he has been dominant in his 11 career appearances against the Dodgers, with a record of 7-1, an ERA of 2.37, and a WHIP of 1.113 in 64.2 innings.
Starting Pitcher: Eric Lauer (3-3, 4.40 EFE).
JefeBet Prediction
The offensive awakening of the Milwaukee Brewers, and the power of the Los Angeles Dodgers’ lineup, one of the best in the league in home runs, suggest that Tuesday’s game will be another high-scoring affair.
Although the Brewers’ pitching is among the best in the MLB, Lauer has struggled in his recent starts, and his good record against the Dodgers may not be enough to get him back on track.
Similarly, Syndergaard has good career numbers against the Brewers, but the right-hander is no longer the dominant pitcher he was with the Mets, as this season has shown. Moreover, in two road starts in 2023, his ERA is 14.63, and opponents are hitting .450 against him.
Furthermore, 10 of the last 13 Dodgers vs Brewers have ended in Over. This is a great reason to visit DraftKings and bet on the Over for the game, which is paying out at (-110) and could earn you $90 for every $100 wagered.
Prediction: Over (LAD 6 – MIL 4).
