Pick

The Dodgers have cruised to two straight victories and they are on a ten game winning streak, but they are only a small favorite in this contest. Milwaukee will have Corbin Burnes on the mound, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four of his last five starts. Los Angeles is starting Lance Lynn, who has been very good since being acquired from the White Sox. Lynn has allowed four earned runs in 18 innings of work for the Dodgers. I have to take the Dodgers in this one. They have been playing too well lately and the Brewers offense is in the bottom third of baseball. Take LA to get the win.
