Prop Bets: Los Angeles Dodgers VS Milwaukee Brewers 2025-07-09
Dodgers vs. Brewers: A Slump vs. a Slump-Resistant Squad
The Los Angeles Dodgers (-159) roll into Milwaukee like a team that’s forgotten how to win, fresh off a four-game losing streak that included a 9-1 drubbing at the hands of these same Brewers. Meanwhile, Milwaukee (+134) is here to remind you that “underdog” isn’t just a label—it’s a vibe.
The Math:
- Implied Probability: The Dodgers are “supposed” to win 61% of the time (thanks, -159). The Brewers? Just 42%. But hey, math hates fun, right?
- Spread: Take the Brewers (+1.5) for the sheer joy of watching the favorites sweat.
- Total: The Over/Under is 8.5 runs. With the Dodgers’ MLB-leading 141 HRs and the Brewers’ 10th-best ERA, this feels like a “wait for the injury report” kind of game.
Pitcher Props:
- Tyler Glasnow (Dodgers): Will he finally learn to throw strikes, or will he gift Christian Yelich another three RBI? Bet on the latter.
- Jose Quintana (Brewers): Can he retire Mookie Betts without using a time machine? Probably not, but +134 says “dream big.”
Key Players to Watch:
- Shohei Ohtani (Dodgers): Will he hit a home run? Yes. Will it be enough to offset the team’s recent power outage? Probably not.
- Christian Yelich (Brewers): The man needs exactly one extra base hit to make this game feel like a statement.
Prediction:
The Brewers’ 3.74 ERA (10th in MLB) will exploit the Dodgers’ anemic 4.36 ERA (23rd) like a glitch in a video game. Expect a 5-4 Milwaukee win, with Yelich stealing the show and the Dodgers’ offense wondering if it’s still 2023.
Prop Bet Pick:
Over 8.5 Runs (-110). Because nothing says “trust the process” like a pitching duel that ends in a combined 9 runs.
Final Score Prediction: Brewers 5, Dodgers 4. The underdog wins, the favorites sigh, and the sportsbooks collect their 10%. Classic July baseball.
