Milwaukee Brewers at Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction

Heading into Wednesday’s matchup between Milwaukee and Los Angeles, the Dodgers are the heavy favorite on the moneyline. Even though Milwaukee beat the Dodgers last week with Andrew Heaney on the mound, I expect the LA offense to have another big outing. Adrian Houser comes off the injured list for Milwaukee but wasn’t particularly effective before his injury. I like Los Angeles on the runline.
