The Milwaukee Brewers visit Dodger Stadium on Friday night for a key National League showdown as they open their series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Game Snapshot

• Matchup: Milwaukee Brewers vs Los Angeles Dodgers
• Date & Time: Friday, July 18, 2025, 10:00 PM ET
• Starting Pitchers: Quinn Priester vs Tyler Glasnow
• Stadium: Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, CA
• Broadcast: FanDuel Sports Wisconsin and MLB.tv

Key Storylines

• Pitching form: The Brewers are going with Quinn Priester on the mound in this game. Priester is 7-2 on the season with a 3.55 ERA. Tyler Glasnow is 1-0 with a 3.52 ERA this season. His return in the second half of the year will be huge for the Dodgers’ title hopes if he can return to the level he used to pitch at.
• Bullpen usage: Both of these bullpens have ERAs of 4.00 or higher. But they will be well-rested coming out of the All-Star break and we could see the best version of both pens tonight.
• Recent team streaks: The Brewers won their last seven games heading into the All-Star break. The Dodgers won two straight at home over the San Francisco Giants to close out the first half of their season.

Brewers vs Dodgers Model Projection

Score Projection: Milwaukee Brewers 4 – Los Angeles Dodgers 5

Win Probability: Milwaukee Brewers 35%, Los Angeles Dodgers 65%

Final Thoughts

The Brewers swept the Dodgers when they met just before the All-Star break. But I expect the Dodgers to exact some revenge on the Brewers here. Look for the Dodgers to get off to a good start behind Glasnow and for the Dodgers lineup to bludgeon Priester. The Brewers’ seven-game winning streak will be snapped at the end of this one.
