Baseball Bets: The Dodgers are in Milwaukee

[Betfair]

At the time of this writing, the following Match Odds/Moneyline were available: Los Angeles Dodgers (2.52, +152) and Milwaukee Brewers (1.64, -156)

Dodgers are 4-0 vs. the NL Central, while the Brewers are 2-5 in Wolf’s last seven outings versus NL West foes.

Los Angeles closed out a six-game homestand in style with a 7-0 win over the Houston Astros Sunday afternoon. The Dodgers pitching staff has been incredible since the All-Star break, ranking fourth in MLB with a 3.26 ERA over that span. Offensively, outfielder Matt Kemp continues to enjoy a career year, hitting his 28th home run, putting him just two away from becoming the franchise’s second member to hit 30 homers and steal 30 bases in a season. The All-Star center fielder will likely have a tough time picking up both round trippers in this series, as he’s gone deep just once in 43 career at-bats at Miller Park. Los Angeles is 16-17 versus left-handed starters this year.

Dodgers starting pitcher Ted Lilly is 7-12 with a 4.71 ERA in 24 starts this season and will aim to snap a two-game losing streak. The left-hander has received just a run of support over that span, giving up three earned runs and 10 hits over 14 innings in losses to the Padres and Phillies. Lilly will be making his 12th start away from home this year, coming in with a 2-5 record and 4.50 ERA, as opponents are hitting .279 against him. In 11 career games (10 starts) versus the Brewers, he is 5-2 with a 3.54 ERA, including a 2-0 mark and 1.77 ERA in three outings last year.
