Prop Bets: Los Angeles Dodgers VS Milwaukee Brewers 2025-10-14
Dodgers vs. Brewers NLCS Game 2 Prediction: A Tale of Two Bullpens (and One Very Overpriced Ohtani)
The Los Angeles Dodgers (-125) are the chalk in Game 2 of the NLCS, but let’s be real: their 1-9 record against Milwaukee in the last 10 meetings makes this a “mathematical impossibility” for the Brewers (+105). The SportsLine model, however, thinks the Brewers have a 56% chance to win—6% higher than the implied 48.1% from the money line. If you’re betting on logic, take the Brewers. If you’re betting on fun, take the underdog. If you’re betting on both, you’re a masochist.
Key Props to Watch:
- Shohei Ohtani is the most expensive home run prop in the game at +267 (29.4% implied). Let’s hope he doesn’t hit two HRs and make us all feel poor.
- Freddie Freeman (+620) is the “small unit” play for a dinger. At +620, you’d need a Freeman moonshot to feel validated.
- Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s strikeout prop (Over 5.5 Ks at -154) is a 60.5% favorite. If he strikes out 6, consider it a “boring” performance.
- Freddy Peralta (Brewers’ starter) has Over 5.5 Ks at +135. If he hits 6, he’s a hero; if not, he’s a “villain” in Milwaukee.
The Verdict:
The Dodgers’ lineup is stacked, but their bullpen is a “mystery box” after Game 1. The Brewers’ Freddy Peralta (2.70 ERA) could exploit this, especially if the Dodgers’ hitters chase his sliders. Take the Brewers +1.5 (-160) if you want to play it safe—or Ohtani HR if you’re feeling lucky. And if the total runs hit 8, tip your hat to the chaos.
Final Score Prediction:
Milwaukee 4, LA 3. Because baseball hates favorites. And also because math.
