Los Angeles Dodgers vs Milwaukee Brewers Pick & Prediction for Sunday, May 24, 2026

By: Ricky Mackenzie Published 05/24/2026, 09:20 AM ET

Los Angeles comes into this matchup after getting dominated 5-1 by Milwaukee in the previous game despite entering the series red hot with eight wins in their last ten. Yoshinobu Yamamoto gets the ball carrying a strong 3.32 ERA and an elite 0.96 WHIP through 57 innings. He has consistently limited traffic on the bases and gives the Dodgers a major advantage on the mound.

Milwaukee has been one of the hottest clubs in baseball lately as well, winning seven of its last ten and sitting atop the NL Central. Brandon Sproat starts for the Brewers with a 5.75 ERA and 1.50 WHIP across 40.2 innings. While Milwaukee’s offense has produced lately, Sproat has struggled with command and allowing hard contact throughout much of the season.

The Dodgers lineup should be in a much better position offensively after Friday’s quiet performance. Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, and Freddie Freeman remain one of baseball’s toughest top orders, and they match up favorably against a pitcher who has allowed plenty of baserunners this year.

Milwaukee still has enough offense to compete, especially at home where William Contreras and Christian Yelich have helped carry the lineup. However, Yamamoto’s consistency combined with the Dodgers’ deeper batting order gives Los Angeles the overall edge entering this game.

Both clubs are playing strong baseball right now, but the starting pitching difference feels significant here. Yamamoto has been far steadier than Sproat this season, and Los Angeles should respond well after Friday’s loss. Final Score Prediction, Los Angeles Dodgers win 6-2.
