The Los Angeles Dodgers and Milwaukee Brewers will each try to win the third game of the series, matching up NL division leaders in Milwaukee this afternoon.

L.A. has won eight of its last 10 games, while Milwaukee has won 12 of 15. After a prolonged cold streak, the Dodgers have found their bats. That’s why my Dodgers vs. Brewers predictions and MLB picks call for L.A. to win a slugfest.

Who will win Dodgers vs Brewers today: Dodgers -1.5 (+100)

The Los Angeles Dodgers scored 11 runs yesterday, the third time in seven games they’ve hit double figures. L.A. has scored 5+ in six of the last nine. Shohei Ohtani, who had a rare early-season slump, has now hit in nine straight, hitting .457 in the process.

The L.A. batters face Brandon Sproat, who has been sub-replacement this year with a 5.75 ERA and 1.50 WHIP. The Dodgers start Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who has a 3.32 ERA and a WHIP under 1.00. 

Covers COVERS INTEL: Brandon Sproat gained velocity this year and added a cutter, but the results have been a disaster. He’s in the Bottom 1% in MLB in breaking ball value and the Bottom 3% overall. His fastball (27th percentile) is the only pitch not in baseball’s bottom quarter, and he has among MLB’s worst walk rates and chase rates.

Dodgers vs Brewers Over/Under pick: Over 8.5 (+105)

The Milwaukee Brewers have also been hitting. Sunday’s 11-3 loss snapped a streak of four straight scoring five or more. Yamamoto has allowed 3+ runs in four of his last five starts, surrendering six home runs over that period.

Milwaukee will want to get to him early — Yamamoto has a 7.00 first-inning ERA. The Brewers hit .263 with 110 OPS+ in the first and have six first-inning runs in the last two games.

Meanwhile, Dodgers batters have been more patient. They’ve walked 17 times in the first two games of the series and are walking 6.4 times per game over the last nine, up from 3.9 per game on the season up to that point.
