Two of the top teams in the National League meet when the Brewers (74-47) visit the Dodgers (73-48). Milwaukee is fresh off being swept by San Diego, while Los Angeles swept Kansas City.
Milwaukee lost two of three to San Diego by one run. The Brewers three-game losing streak is tied for the third-longest of the season. In August, Milwaukee is hitting 212 (26th) with 40 runs over 12 games (T-21st). The Brewers have scored four or fewer runs in five-straight games as pitching staff has held them together. Milwaukee’s staff is posting top five ranks in WHIP (1.14) and OBA (.216).
The Dodgers have turned the corner in the win column after a sweep over the Royals, but this is a much tougher test. Los Angeles is 4-1 in the last five games and outscored its opponents, 19-16. Freddie Freeman suffered an injury on Wednesday, so the Dodgers will rely on its hot trio. Mookie Betts homered in the last two games, while Shohei Ohtani sent one over the fence on Wednesday as well, and Kyle Tucker is hitting .273 in August.
