Milwaukee Brewers vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Betting Prediction

The Dodgers send LHP Julio Urias to the mound against Milwaukee’s ninth-ranked scoring offense on Monday night (4.53 RSPG), who’s arguably having the best campaign of his magnificent seven-year career sitting 13-6 with a 2.40 ERA across 23 starts this season (0.98 WHIP), which already includes an excellent outing against the Brewers (5 IP, 0 ER).

On the flip side, the Brewers send LHP Eric Lauer to the hill against L. A.’s top-ranked scoring offense tonight (5.35 RSPG), who’s also having a solid campaign sitting 8-5 with a 3.58 ERA across 22 starts this season (1.20 WHIP), which already includes a serviceable outing against the Dodgers (7 IP, 2 ER).

I’ll take the under here, as Lauer is 2-2 with a 2.85 ERA in his last eight appearances for the Brewers (1.16 WHIP), and 6-1 with a 2.56 ERA across 10 career starts against L. A. (1.09 WHIP); setting the stage for a relatively low-scoring battle against the Dodgers and Urias, who’s 6-0 with a 0.95 ERA in his last six outings (0.82 WHIP), and 5-1 with a 2.01 ERA across seven career starts against Milwaukee (0.92 WHIP).

Score Prediction: Dodgers 3, Brewers 2
Best Bet: Under 7.5 (+100)
