The Brewers have been playing great baseball, but expecting them to sweep the Dodgers twice in one month is too much (L.A. is 33-19 at home). Will Smith has destroyed left-handed pitching (179 wRC+), and Shohei Ohtani has been adept at punishing pitchers of either hand, so both are likely to play a part if the Dodgers score runs in bunches.

The Dodgers lost their fifth consecutive game to Milwaukee this season, but Ohtani continued to impress, going 2-for-5 with a home run.

Despite homers from Shohei Ohtani, Miguel Rojas, and Tommy Edman, the Dodgers can’t overcome Milwaukee’s timely hits and lose 8-7, which is their fifth straight loss to the Brewers.
