Los Angeles comes into the second game of this series looking to pick up their second consecutive victory over Milwaukee.
The Milwaukee Brewers have arguably caught a bunch of people by surprise after heading into season a team that was expected to rebuild and suffer with a new manager. However, they have been one of the best teams in the National League during the first few months of the season and they maintain that narrative with a victory here on Saturday night in Los Angeles.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have been tremendous this season and they will look to continue that momentum with a second consecutive victory over the Milwaukee Brewers here on Saturday. Los Angeles is running away with the National League West division, and as long as they can remain healthy and consistent throughout the year, they will likely be the favorites heading into the postseason. When they acquired Shohei Ohtani in free agency from the Los Angeles Angels, they instantly became the favorite to the World Series this season. With the way they are playing now that seems like a real possibility heading into the All-Star break.
Los Angeles has built a sizable lead within the National League West division, and they will look to further extend their lead over San Diego with another victory here in this one. They already picked up a series opening victory over Milwaukee on Friday night and a second consecutive victory here on Saturday would officially clinched the series heading into Sunday's finale. Overall, Los Angeles has won six out of their last 10 games on the season and they have been particularly solid when playing at home. As they have won 27 out of their 45 home games so far this season and they will look to get win number 28 here on Saturday evening.
Betting trends to consider in this matchup:
- Los Angeles is 27-18 at home
- Milwaukee is 20-21 against teams below .500
- Los Angeles is 16-9 against teams above .500
I expect this to be a close and competitive matchup throughout the early inning of the game, but in the end, I do look for the Los Angeles Dodgers to pull out the victory at home. As Los Angeles simply just has way too much talent in their lineup and I expect that talent to break through in this one and lead them to a second consecutive victory over Milwaukee here on Saturday.
