However, Ohtani has struggled a bit of late, hitting just .189 over his last nine games. Hernandez, on the other hand, has gone 14/37 with three homers and eight RBIs in this stretch.

As a team, the Dodgers are 3rd in home runs and are 5th in scoring at 4.9 runs per game. They have been even better at home, averaging 5 runs per contest. Overall, they are batting .252, which is 9th in the league, and are 2nd in walks this season.

Adames and Contreras have been swinging the bat well of late, with Adames going 10/34 with four homers in his last nine games, and Contreras has gone 13/39 over that stretch. The Brewers will also look for Rhys Hoskins to break out of his season-long slump, as he is batting just .226 and has struck out 125 times this season.

Free Dodgers vs. Brewers MLB Pick

Los Angeles put some room between themselves and the Brewers in the race for the top spot in the National League. This is a big deal for the Brewers, who are hoping to avoid the Wild Card round in this year’s playoffs. Last year, they were bounced early by the Diamondbacks in the NL Wild Card. Colin Rea has been sneaky good this season for the Brewers and Gavin Stone has struggled of late. I like the Brewers on the money line in this one.
