One of the biggest strengths for Los Angeles is overall balance. The Dodgers enter this matchup with strong offensive production while also carrying one of the better pitching profiles in the league. The combination of power hitting and efficient pitching has helped Los Angeles maintain success both at home and on the road.

Milwaukee Riding Momentum at Home

Milwaukee enters this game with a 29-18 overall record and has played well at home with a 15-9 mark. The Brewers recently won over the Cubs three straight times by scores of 5-0, 5-2, and 9-3 after previously recently lost to Minnesota 5-4. Milwaukee also recently won over Minnesota 2-1 before beginning the Chicago series. The Brewers have now won four of their last five games while allowing only six total runs across the last four victories.

Milwaukee is batting .247 as a team with 237 runs scored, 392 hits, and 33 home runs this season. The Brewers own a .335 on-base percentage and a .364 slugging percentage while posting a 3.18 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP. Milwaukee pitchers have recorded 462 strikeouts this season while holding opponents to a .221 batting average.

Milwaukee’s biggest strength entering this matchup is pitching consistency. The Brewers have allowed very little offense during the recent winning stretch and enter with one of the better strikeout totals in the league. That pitching stability has helped Milwaukee stay competitive despite hitting fewer home runs than Los Angeles this season.

Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Milwaukee Brewers Picks and Prediction

Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Milwaukee Brewers Pick

  • Pick: Los Angeles Dodgers Moneyline

Los Angeles enters this matchup with the stronger offensive profile and one of the better road records in the league. The Dodgers own advantages in batting average, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, and home runs entering this contest. Los Angeles has also been producing runs consistently during the recent stretch, including 15 runs against the Angels and five against San Diego earlier this week. While Milwaukee has pitched well recently, the Dodgers appear to carry the stronger overall lineup entering Saturday night.

Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Milwaukee Brewers Total Pick

  • Pick: Under 8.5

I would lean toward the under because both teams bring strong overall pitching numbers into this game. Los Angeles owns a 3.12 ERA while Milwaukee enters with a 3.18 ERA. The Brewers have also allowed only six total runs during the last four wins, while the Dodgers recently played a 1-0 game against San Diego. Even though both offenses are capable of producing runs, the overall pitching profiles suggest a tighter matchup.

Final Score Prediction: Los Angeles Dodgers 4 – Milwaukee Brewers 3
