Starting Pitchers

After a few disappointing starts at the end of July, Tony Gonsolin is back on track in August with a 2-0 record, a 0.77 ERA and a 0.77 WHIP over his last two starts against the San Diego Padres and Kansas City Royals. Gonsolin is 14-1 with a 2.24 ERA and a 0.89 WHIP in 116.1 innings this season.

Eric Lauer pitched six innings and allowed three earned runs in Milwaukee’s 3-1 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals last Friday night. Lauer has compiled an 8-4 record, a 3.64 ERA and a 1.21 WHIP across 21 starts in 2022. 

Los Angeles Has Lost Two Of Its Last Three After Recent Dominant Run

The Dodgers suffered their second loss in three games on Tuesday night, losing to the Brewers 5-4 in extra innings. Los Angeles is now 1-2 over its last three games after going 12-0 in its previous 12.

The club was at a major starting pitching disadvantage on Tuesday with rookie Ryan Pepiot getting the start against Brandon Woodruff. With Walker Buehler officially lost for the season after scheduling a season-ending elbow surgery and with Clayton Kershaw struggling with injuries all season long, the Dodgers are going to need breakout stars like Gonsolin and Tyler Anderson to carry their regular-season success into the postseason this year.

Christian Yelich Finally Picked Up A Hit In Milwaukee’s Win

Willy Adames and Christian Yelich both hit home runs in Milwaukee’s 5-4 win over the Dodgers on Tuesday night. Prior to his homer, Yelich was 0-for-26 over his previous 26 at-bats. The former National League MVP is batting .250 with nine home runs and 36 RBIs in 110 games this season.

Milwaukee improved to 9-4 over its last 13 home games with the win. Bettors taking Milwaukee as their Dodgers vs Brewers prediction will be hoping that home field continues to play a role in this series on Wednesday night.

Dodgers vs Brewers Pick & Insights

Dodgers: Keys To Victory

The Dodgers have cooled off on offense with only 2.67 runs per game over their last three games after averaging 8.43 runs in their previous seven games. Tony Gonsolin and the bullpen should be able to take care of business on Wednesday, so it will be up to the Dodgers offense to get back on track to earn the team a Dodgers vs Brewers prediction win.

Brewers: Keys To Victory

Milwaukee has pitched well in this series to hold Los Angeles to four runs on both Monday and Tuesday. This offense isn’t built to shoot out with anyone, so Eric Lauer keeping things rolling on the mound will be important to scoring an upset as a Dodgers vs Brewers pick at home.
