Brewers Bring Elite Pitching to Los Angeles

Milwaukee enters Saturday at 75-47 overall and 34-25 on the road. The Brewers have gone 2-3 over their last five games, but they are coming off a 5-4 victory over Los Angeles. Milwaukee's other victory during that stretch was a 4-3 extra-inning win over Minnesota, while each of its three losses came during a difficult road series in San Diego.

The Brewers are batting .251 with 1,034 hits, 597 runs and 111 home runs. Milwaukee owns a .336 on-base percentage and .394 slugging percentage. Pitching has been a major strength, with the staff posting a 3.53 ERA and 1.16 WHIP while opponents are batting only .220. Milwaukee has recorded 1,186 strikeouts while issuing 384 walks.

Milwaukee's pitching gives it a legitimate advantage even against one of the stronger offenses in baseball. The Brewers own the better team ERA and WHIP and have recorded nearly 100 more strikeouts than Los Angeles. Saturday's starting pitching matchup strengthens that edge considerably.

Dodgers Counter With the Stronger Offense

Los Angeles enters Saturday at 73-49 overall and 36-24 at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers have won three of their last five games despite coming off a 5-4 loss to Milwaukee. Los Angeles had won three straight before that defeat, beating Kansas City by scores of 4-2, 5-4 and 6-5.

The Dodgers are batting .260 with 1,067 hits, 610 runs and 156 home runs. Los Angeles owns a .337 on-base percentage and .429 slugging percentage. The pitching staff carries a 3.71 ERA and 1.17 WHIP while limiting opponents to a .218 batting average. The Dodgers have recorded 1,088 strikeouts against 382 walks.

Los Angeles has the offensive advantage, leading Milwaukee in batting average, runs, hits, home runs, on-base percentage and slugging percentage. The Dodgers have hit 45 more home runs than the Brewers, but Milwaukee's pitching advantage creates an intriguing contrast. Los Angeles will need its offense to overcome one of the toughest starting pitching assignments it can face.

Milwaukee Brewers vs Los Angeles Dodgers Picks and Prediction

Pick: Milwaukee Brewers Moneyline

Milwaukee is the preferred side because the starting pitching advantage is significant enough to outweigh Los Angeles' stronger offensive numbers. The Brewers also own the better overall team ERA and WHIP and have already shown they can win at Dodger Stadium. With Milwaukee sitting 75-47 overall and bringing its strongest statistical advantage to the mound Saturday, take the Brewers on the moneyline.

Pick: Under 8.0

Take the under if the total is set at 8.0. Milwaukee's scheduled starter enters with a dominant 1.76 ERA and 0.74 WHIP while allowing only 68 hits through 133 innings. Los Angeles also owns a respectable 3.71 team ERA, and both clubs have strong overall run-prevention numbers. Even with two capable offenses, the pitching matchup makes the Under the preferred play.
