Prop Bets: Los Angeles Dodgers VS Milwaukee Brewers 2025-07-08
"Kershaw’s Ageless Magic vs. the Brewers’ Desperation: A Dodger Dodging Night?"
The Los Angeles Dodgers (56-35) roll into Milwaukee as slight favorites (-1.5) to break their three-game losing streak, while the Brewers (50-40) hope Jacob Misiorowski (3-1, 3.20 ERA) can out-pitch 39-year-old Clayton Kershaw (4-0, 3.43 ERA) in a game that’s oddly priced like a coin flip (1.91-1.95 odds across books). The total sits at 8.5 runs, which feels about right—this is baseball, not a fireworks show.
Why the Dodgers Should Win:
- Kershaw’s ERA (3.43) is better than your dating profile’s honesty. He’ll need to avoid walking more than 1.5 batters (props: -164 to under), or it’s a free HR party for Christian Yelich (HR prop: +400).
- The Dodgers lead MLB in home runs (141) and runs scored (5.5/g). Look for Shohei Ohtani to hit a moonshot (HR prop: +150) or at least draw a walk (5.5 strikeout prop: -165).
Why the Brewers Might Shock You:
- Jacob Misiorowski (3.20 ERA) is a name that sounds like a rejected cereal mascot. If he lasts 6 innings, Milwaukee’s 10th-ranked bullpen (3.77 ERA) might keep this close.
- Watch for Sal Frelick to steal a base (+500) or Brice Turang to swipe one (+450)—neither has more than 2 SB this season.
Player Props to Bet on (Because Why Not):
- Over 1.5 HR for Shohei Ohtani (+150): He’s a two-way terror, not a one-trick pony.
- Mookie Betts Over 1.5 Hits (-213): He’s hitting .312, so this feels like betting on a sunrise.
- Under 3.5 Earned Runs for Kershaw (-170): If he’s sharp, this line is a steal.
Final Score Prediction:
Dodgers 5, Brewers 3. Because even with a $1,500 bonus bet (use code CVRBONUS1500 at BetMGM), Clayton Kershaw still knows how to make old men look young.
Note: This game is essentially a 39-year-old magician (Kershaw) vs. a team that still thinks “clutch” is a type of beer. Root for the Brewers, but bet on the Dodgers. Unless you’re into chaos. 🎩⚾
