Brewers at Dodgers 10/16/18 - MLB Picks & Predictions

The Milwaukee Brewers will look to take a commanding series lead when they battle the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game Four of the NLCS on Tuesday night. The teams split the first two games in Milwaukee and the Brewers limited the Dodgers to just three hits during last night’s 4-0 victory. Ryan Braun got the scoring started with an RBI double that scored Christian Yelich in the first inning. Jhoulys Chacin allowed three hits over five plus scoreless frames to earn the victory.

Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell has yet to name a starting pitcher for this matchup. The Brewers have an all hands on deck pitching staff that ranked 5thn during the regular season with a 3.73 team ERA. The Los Angeles Dodgers were just eight games above .500 at home during the regular season and need to get things straight in a hurry. In Game Three, SP Walker Buehler struck out eight batters and gave up four runs across seven frames. Los Angeles loaded the bases in the bottom of the ninth inning, but Yasmani Grandal and Brian Dozier struck out to end the game.

The Dodgers will turn to thirty-eight year old southpaw Rich Hill (11-5 3.66 ERA) in Game Four. Last time out, Hill walked five batters and allowed two runs over four plus innings of a series clinching 6-2 victory at Atlanta.
