Dodgers at Brewers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 5, Brewers 4

Moneyline

BET DODGERS (-112).

The Dodgers are 27-18 straight up as a road favorite this season while Milwaukee is 7-8 as a home underdog. Despite Kershaw's struggles since returning, he has dominated the Brewers throughout his career and should continue to improve after returning from injury.

Los Angeles has won 6 of its last 8 games, 2 of those wins coming by 1 run. While the Brewers have played well as of late, they are just 6-5 over their last 11 and 2-3 in their last 5 at home.

Considering those trends, take DODGERS (-112).

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

The Dodgers are too risky here as a run-line favorite, especially considering 2 of their last 7 games have ended within 1 run. The Brewers are a pass here too as they are too expensive to take.

Over/Under

BET OVER 8 (-110).

The Dodgers have gone Over in 3 of their last 4 games, scoring at least 4 runs in all 4. They have allowed at least 5 runs in 3 of their last 4 games as well.

The Brewers, who are 64-47-6 O/U on the season, have gone Over in 4 of their last 6 games, scoring at least 8 runs in 4 of those. They have given up at least 3 runs in 4 of their last 5 games. Milwaukee has gone Over in Peralta's last 4 starts.

Back OVER 8 (-110).
