Milwaukee Brewers vs LA Dodgers Prediction

I’m leaning towards the Dodgers here. It would be nice to know who L.A. is starting here, but we haven’t seen anything from the Brewers so far in this series to suggest they’re going to be able to comPete, especially now that Mookie Betts has returned, and Frankie Montas was a bit of a head-scratching acquisition in my opinion when the Brewers picked him up and I think he is going to be a liability more than an asset here as well. I’ll side with the Dodgers in this one.
