LA Dodgers vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction

I’m going to side with the Brewers here. I like what I’ve seen from Freddy Peralta in spots and he’s statistically been better on the road this season. James Paxton’s had a lot of issues with control, and while the Dodgers have been able to win a lot of Paxton’s outings, I think the Brewers are a talented enough lineup to make you pay for mistakes like that. Give me the Brew Crew in this one.
