Milwaukee Brewers vs LA Dodgers Prediction

The Milwaukee Brewers are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home and Freddy Peralta is usually a reliable pitcher. Clayton Kershaw is still working his way back into the mix and isn’t as trustworthy as he typically is. With all that said, we’re getting plus money with the Dodgers, a spot you frequently don’t get. In fact, this will be just the 12th time since May where the Dodgers are an underdog. I say take advantage while you can. Give me the Dodgers and the more favorable price.
