Milwaukee Brewers and Los Angeles Dodgers are set for a primetime showdown on Saturday night at Dodger Stadium.
This is a matchup between two of the top teams in baseball, and could even be an NLCS preview. Both the Brewers and Dodgers have World Series hopes, which means this Saturday night contest could have a playoff-type atmosphere to it.
Milwaukee enters leading the NL Central by three games with an overall record of 75-48. On the other side, Los Angeles leads the NL West by eight games and owns a record of 74-49.
First pitch is set for 7:15 p.m. ET on FOX.
Milwaukee Brewers vs. Los Angeles Dodgers betting picks and predictions
Brewers ML (-125)
Jacob Misiorowski is slated to take the mound for the Brewers, and he continues to put on a show every time he takes the mound. Misiorowski enters this matchup owning a ridiculous 1.76 ERA and 0.70 WHIP through 133.0 innings of work.
He has allowed just 68 hits over those 133.0 innings, and has already accumulated 204 strikeouts. No matter how you slice it, he has been elite. There’s a reason he’s the current favorite to win the NL CY Young by an overwhelmingly wide margin.
Misiorowski hasn’t faced the Dodgers this season, but he saw great success against LA last season. Over two starts against the Dodgers (including the postseason), Misiorowski allowed just two earned runs on seven hits over the course of 11.0 innings. He also racked up 21 strikeouts with just two walks in that span.
He could also be catching the Dodgers at the right time. Since the All-Star break, the Dodgers are just 5-8 and have struggled to find a groove. The offense hasn’t been able to sustain much success, and things won’t get any easier going up against one of the best pitchers in the game on Saturday night.
Look for Misiorowski to put the Brewers in a great position to win this game.
Under 7.5 (-120)
As previously mentioned, Misiorowski has been phenomenal all season long. But Wrobleski has been great in his own right as well. He owns a 3.44 ERA and 1.11 WHIP through 120.1 innings, and has been very comfortable when pitching in his home ballpark.
On the season, Wrobleski is sporting a 2.91 ERA to go along with a .191 BAA over the course of eight starts at Dodger Stadium. For comparison, he owns a 3.86 ERA and .269 BAA through 12 road starts. Those are still solid numbers, but it’s clear that Wrobleski has been a bit more effective when pitching at home.
Along with a great starting pitching matchup, both bullpens have been elite throughout the 2026 campaign. The Brewers rank fourth in baseball with a bullpen ERA of 3.50, while the Dodgers rank second in MLB by holding opposing hitters to a .219 batting average.
With that in mind, runs could be at a premium in this matchup.
Low-scoring games have been a theme for both of these teams this season. The under is a strong 68-52 for the Brewers and 66-57 for the Dodgers.
With two great pitchers on the mound and elite bullpens on both sides, look for that trend to continue in this one. The under is the play.
