"15-1? meoW." - Dodgers
Pitching in this one are Andrew Heaney for the Dodgers and Corbin Burnes for the Brewers.
Heaney has been fantastic since returning to the rotation. He's been more of an opener than starter since coming back from rehab but has allowed just one run in the three starts he has made. However, Heaney did take a line drive off his throwing arm his last time out, and while he has avoided a return to the injured list, it remains to be seen if his performance has been affected.
It's been business as usual for Burnes this whole season. He continues to perform at the highest level possible. He's made back-to-back starts where he allowed just one run, and he currently holds an ERA of 2.39.

Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Milwaukee Brewers Betting Odds
Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Milwaukee Brewers Best Picks
After leaving his last start early, many were surprised Andrew Heaney didn't return to the IL. However, bettors should be weary of how he'll perform with that arm. For that reason, the Brewers team total is a great bet in this game.
Milwaukee Over 3.5 Runs (-118)
Many bettors will be attracted to the NRFI on this one with how both these studs are dealing. Again, putting Heaney's arm strength into question and the Dodgers ability to jump on a pitcher early, smart bettors will grab the plus sign for this one.
A Run to be Scored in the First Inning (+125)
Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Milwaukee Brewers Prediction
As incredible as Burnes has been this season, it's understandable that his team is the dog in this one as the Brewers are 13-9 in his starts. The middle innings have been a problem for the Brewers this season. However, Burnes is the far better pitcher in this matchup, and he should bring home another win.
Milwaukee (-104)
