Dodgers vs Brewers prediction
My Dodgers vs Brewers best bet: Over 8.5 (-112 at DraftKings)
The Los Angeles Dodgers possess arguably the best lineup in baseball. This season, they rank in the Top 2 in runs scored per game, hits per game, slugging percentage, and OPS.
The Dodgers can beat you with contact, power or a combination of both. No matter the method, they should be able to get things going against left-hander Jose Quintana, who takes the mound for the Milwaukee Brewers.
Quintana is a strong sell-high candidate, as his 3.44 ERA is not indicative of his underlying performance this year. The southpaw owns a 4.18 expected ERA (xERA) and ranks in the bottom third of the league in expected batting average (xBA), strikeout rate, and walk rate.
This expected regression could come to fruition against the Dodgers, a team Quintana is 0-2 against over their past two meetings with a 7.71 ERA and 1.82 WHIP. The good news for the veteran is that he should also receive a solid amount of run support.
The Brewers do a good job manufacturing runs, too, as they rank in the top half of the league in runs per game, hits per game, on-base percentage, and stolen bases.
