Dodgers vs Brewers Game 2 predictions
Who will win Dodgers vs Brewers Game 2
The Milwaukee lineup doesn’t pack the same punch as Los Angeles, with the Brewers ranking 11th in wOBA and 22nd in ISO against righties during the regular season, while the Dodgers, respectively, finished third and fourth. I also view the starting pitching matchup as a near wash, so the offense will make the difference, with both Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Freddy Peralta imposing righties.
Dodgers vs Brewers best bet
Freddy Peralta Over 3.5 hits allowed (+120)
The Milwaukee Brewers will need innings from starter Freddy Peralta after going with a bullpen game and using five different relievers, plus Quinn Priester for four frames, to start the series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Peralta posted a career-low 2.70 ERA during the regular season, but his 3.85 xFIP was well above, and his .243 BABIP and 85.5% strand rate were both far better than his respective .270 and 75.7% marks over the previous three seasons.
With the Dodgers posting a third-ranked wOBA against righties during the regular season and a second-ranked overall mark during the playoffs, this checks out as a daunting matchup for the right-hander.
Of course, Peralta also wasn’t particularly sharp in his two starts against the Chicago Cubs in the NLDS, allowing seven hits with a 4.66 ERA across 9 2/3 innings.
Dodgers vs Brewers Game 2 same-game parlay (SGP)
I expect Los Angeles to put a few crooked numbers on the board and pull away from Milwaukee.
Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman is off to a solid but unspectacular start to the postseason, with a .250 batting average and .340 wOBA through seven games. Considering he’s posted high-end .311 and .388 marks against righties over the past three years and hits in the heart of the lineup, the playoff veteran is positioned to fill up the box score tonight.
Turning to the final leg of this SGP, Brewers veteran Christian Yelich finished the regular season with a .274 batting average against righties, and he’s ripe to rebound from his 0-for-9 run at the dish from the past three games.
Dodgers vs Brewers SGP
- Dodgers -1.5
- Freddie Freeman Over 1.5 hits + runs + RBI
- Christian Yelich Over 0.5 total bases
Dodgers vs Brewers home run pick for Game 2
Mookie Betts (+525)
The good news is Dodgers star Mookie Betts has a home run against Peralta. Unfortunately, it’s his only hit against the righty in 12 plate appearances. Still, Betts hasn’t left the yard this postseason despite a solid .500 slugging percentage and .385 wOBA, so this price stands out.
