Brewers at Dodgers Betting Prediction 8/22/22
Los Angeles is surging while Milwaukee is sputtering. From there we give the Dodgers our baseball handicapping check-marks in the pitching match-up, the splits with the sticks and the bullpen comparison. So we like LA here. Also, we notice that during this 11-game winning streak with Urias 10 of those victories came by at least two runs. So we’ll give the run and a half and play the Dodgers against the run line.
