The Los Angeles Dodgers are sizable home favorites to force a Game 5 with a win over the Milwaukee Brewers ahead of their 8 p.m. ET first pitch at Dodger Stadium on Thursday, Oct. 15.
My favorite Brewers vs. Dodgers prediction and MLB picks expect Los Angeles to stave off elimination with better luck at the dish and a solid start from righty Tyler Glasnow tonight.
TOP PICK
Brewers vs Dodgers prediction: Dodgers -1.5
For help understanding probabilities, see our odds calculator.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have massive statistical correction coming at the dish with their third-ranked .321 postseason xwOBA well above their ninth-ranked .264 wOBA. Their .216 BABIP is also eyeing positive regression alongside a 41.7% hard-hit rate and 35.2% squared-up contact rate.
Reaffirming the poor plate luck, Los Angeles posted a nearly identical underlying stat line of a .327 xwOBA, 37.9% hard-hit rate and 34.6% squared-up contact rate in the second half of the regular season that translated into a surface .326 wOBA and .290 BABIP.
The Dodgers will turn to Tyler Glasnow, and he’s been reliable in the playoffs since joining the Boys in Blue with a 3.70 xERA and 3.67 xFIP across 26 innings.
It all adds up to a Game 5 in Dodger Stadium on Friday, and I recommend Los Angeles -1.5 to 43%.
COVERS INTEL: Glasnow has held Brewers hitters to a minuscule .176 xwOBA and .058 xISO while racking up an eye-popping 40.4% strikeout rate.Who will win Brewers vs Dodgers?
Los Angeles Dodgers: The Milwaukee Brewers are expected to rely on Dustin May for bulk innings in Game 4, and he posted a 4.73 xERA this postseason after spinning a 4.43 mark across 145 2/3 regular-season innings.

Brewers vs Dodgers combo
Glasnow recorded 15 or more outs in five of his final six regular season starts before surrendering just 14 Atlanta Braves hitters during the National League Division Series. He issued five free passes to drive his pitch count up against Atlanta, and I’m anticipating a tidier outing from the righty tonight.
Turning to Los Angeles first baseman Freddie Freeman, he’s been one of the most unlucky Dodgers through the first three games of the series. Despite pacing the team in expected slugging percentage (.534), Freeman’s been limited to 1-for-7 skid with a single RBI.
He breaks out in Game 4.
Brewers vs Dodgers combo
- Dodgers -1.5
- Tyler Glasnow Over 14.5 outs recorded
- Freddie Freeman Over 1.5 hits + runs + RBI
Brewers vs Dodgers home run prediction: Max Muncy
With Dodgers slugger Max Muncy posting a high-end .244 ISO against lefties and .236 mark against righties during the regular season, he has my attention in the homer market because Milwaukee is going with the turnstile pitching approach in Game 4.
Of course, Muncy has already hit three home runs this postseason with an elite .391 xISO, so this homer prop is in play to 19%.
