Brewers (Anderson, 4-9, 4.26) vs Dodgers (Buehler, 15-4, 2.49)

In their last game of the season, the Dodgers still can’t take their foot off the gas, and won’t know at game time what their fate will be. Buehler is on the mound, but I can’t see him go any longer than necessary. His September ERA has slipped to 5.40, and he has pitched more than 200 innings this year so fatigue may be a factor. Milwaukee is resting Peralta, and bringing in Anderson after just three days rest. Anderson is just three starts back from the IL, and has been lightly used but I can’t see him lasting long either.

The Dodgers’ bullpen has been slightly worse than usual but still fine. The Brewers’ pen has been sub par of late, as has Milwaukee’s offense. The Brewers are likely in ‘don’t care ‘ mode at the moment . Yesterday’s game was a case in point. Burns lasted only 2 innings, and the Brewers turned the game over to recent pickup Colin Rea to finish.

I like the Dodgers’ chances again today. The LA offense is hitting on all cylinders, the Brewers’ has been struggling. The Dodgers will be looking ahead but the Dodgers must stay focused. Take the Dodgers to win -1.5.
