The Los Angeles Dodgers face off against the Milwaukee Brewers for the rubber match. The Dodgers won last night by nine runs after dropping the first game by way of a 4-0 shutout. The Brewers arguably need this more as they are in the thick of a playoff race. They currently sit 1.5 games out of contention behind another National League West foe in the San Diego Padres. Last night was a blown opportunity for the Brewers considering the Padres were also not victorious in a bout against the Guardians.

They still want to keep playing good baseball heading into the end of the season to get hot for the playoffs. The Dodgers won a World Series in a COVID shortened season, so another World Series title might validate them a little more.

He will be opposed by Adrian Houser who heads into this matchup with a 4-8 record. He has a 4.72 season ERA spanning 76.1 innings. His road ERA is a little concerning sitting at 5.89. The Brewers have also lost eight of the last 10 games started by Houser. He has allowed three or more in five of his last six starts, which is something the Dodgers are licking their chops about.
