Milwaukee Brewers vs LA Dodgers Prediction

However, the value is with the Brewers and the plus money, especially at home with Tobias Myers on the mound. Winning a Game like yesterday also tends to have a carryover effect with a quick turnaround. This has a chance to be a pitching duel. I want the more favorable price. Give me the Brewers.
