Milwaukee Brewers vs Los Angeles Dodgers Betting Preview

The Los Angeles Dodgers and the Milwaukee Brewers are set to clash on July 7, 2024, in what promises to be an exciting National League matchup at Dodger Stadium. Both teams are having stellar seasons, with the Dodgers holding a 55-35 record and the Brewers at 52-38. This game marks the third encounter in their current series.

The Dodgers have yet to decide on a starting pitcher for today, which will play a huge role in today's outcome once they do. Conversely, the Brewers will counter with Dallas Keuchel (LHP), who has struggled this season with a 6.75 ERA, albeit with a more promising 4.05 xFIP, indicating some bad luck in his previous outings. Keuchel has started just two games this year and is identified as one of the worst pitchers according to advanced-stat Power Rankings.

The Dodgers’ offense has been an explosive force, ranking 1st in MLB in terms of overall power. Their lineup ranks 4th in batting average and 3rd in home runs, which could spell trouble for Keuchel, a high-flyball pitcher, as his tendencies could lead to an uptick in home runs against this potent Dodgers lineup. With the Dodgers leading the league in home runs, Keuchel’s fly balls could quickly turn into big scoring plays.

THE BAT X, the leading MLB projection system, favors the Dodgers heavily, projecting them with a 64% win probability compared to the betting market’s implied 59%. The Dodgers have an implied team total of 5.21 runs, indicating confidence in their ability to capitalize on Keuchel’s struggles. Meanwhile, the Brewers are projected as significant underdogs, with an implied win probability of 41%.

On the offensive side, Will Smith has been red-hot for the Dodgers over the last week, boasting a .375 batting average and a 1.661 OPS, contributing significantly to the team’s success. The Brewers’ Christian Yelich has also been impressive, hitting .357 with a 1.241 OPS over the past seven games.

As this showdown looms, all signs point to the Dodgers having a clear edge thanks to their powerful offense and home-field advantage. Betting on the Dodgers could offer good value given their projected win probability exceeds market expectations.

Quick Takes Milwaukee Brewers:

Out of all SPs, Dallas Keuchel's fastball velocity of 87 mph is in the 1st percentile since the start of last season.

• Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.

Christian Yelich's batting average ability is projected to be in the 96th percentile according to the leading projection system (THE BAT X).

• THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors and regularly tests among the most accurate systems available. Batting average is the most common measure of a player's ability to generate hits.

Quick Takes Los Angeles Dodgers:

Teoscar Hernandez has big-time HR ability (95th percentile) if he makes contact, but that's never a sure thing (28.2% K%). Today, however, opposing pitcher Dallas Keuchel doesn't generate many whiffs (20th percentile K%) — great news for Hernandez.

• If he is less likely to strikeout, he'll be more likely to make contact, which is often hard, home-run contact.

Miguel Vargas hits a lot of his flyballs to center field (39.2% — 95th percentile) and will have a big advantage facing the league's 9th-shallowest CF fences today.

• This player's skill set matches up particularly well with the park he's in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
