Prop Bets: Los Angeles Dodgers VS Milwaukee Brewers 2025-10-13
Dodgers vs. Brewers NLCS Game 1 Prediction: "Snell" the Difference in a Snail Race
The Los Angeles Dodgers (-153) and Milwaukee Brewers (+128) clash in a NLCS opener that’s as predictable as a Netflix algorithm: the Dodgers will probably win, but the Brewers will make you feel the suspense. Let’s break it down with math, madness, and a sprinkle of prop bets.
The Numbers Don’t Lie (Mostly)
- Moneyline: The Dodgers are -153 favorites, implying a 60.6% win probability. The Brewers (+128) carry a 43.5% chance, which is about the odds of me remembering to charge my phone.
- Total Runs: 7.5 (even money). With Blake Snell (2.35 ERA) facing a Brewers offense that’s “meh” (.248 team BA), the “Under” feels like a bet on a nap.
Key Players to Watch
- Mookie Betts (.385 BA, 10 hits in NLDS): If he goes 3-for-5 with a double, it’s not a bet—it’s a guarantee.
- Blake Snell (2.35 ERA, 2.70 FIP): The Dodgers’ starter is a human spreadsheet, but can he out-pitch the Brewers’ collective “hope”?
- Jackson Chourio (.389 BA in playoffs): The Brewers’ golden boy, though he’ll need to hit a home run to avoid being called “that guy.”
Prop Bets Worth Your Time
1. Blake Snell – Strikeouts (6.5, -132 to Over / +105 to Under): Snell’s 6.5 Ks would be a season-high. Take the under—his control is sharp, but the Dodgers’ lineup isn’t a buffet.
2. Mookie Betts – Hits (1.5, -185 / +155): Betts is 10-for-10 in the NLDS. Lay the 1.5 hits? Please. Take the over and cash in on his “I’m due for a slump” phase.
3. Milwaukee Brewers – First 5 Innings Under 1.5 Runs (-105): Snell’s ERA vs. the Brewers is 1.80. Take the under and mock the “optimists” who think this team can score.
Final Verdict
The Dodgers win 5-2 behind Snell’s 6 IP, 3 ER and a late-inning Mookie Betts solo shot. The Brewers will manage 6 hits but 0 RBIs, because playoff baseball is a cruel teacher.
Pick: Dodgers -1.5 (-110) and Under 7.5 (-105). Prop: Mookie Betts Over 1.5 Hits (-185).
