Top Dodgers vs. Brewers predictions

After 10,000 simulations of Dodgers vs. Brewers, the model is going Under 7.5 combined runs for over/under betting. The Under has hit in six of the past 10 head-to-head matchups. The Under is also 6-3-1 in the last 10 Milwaukee games, and 8-1-1 in the last 10 Los Angeles games. The Under is 12-9 in games in which Robert Gasser pitches for Milwaukee, and is 5-4-1 in games when Los Angeles' Blake Snell starts.

Milwaukee's overall hitting splits aren't as strong on the road or against lefties. The Dodgers, meanwhile, haven't scored more than four runs since their MLB playoff opener against the Braves on Oct. 3. All that leads to the model projecting a game that fails to get to eight total runs, making the Under the play in more than 50% of simulations.
