LA Dodgers are 14-3 SU in their last 17 games on the road.
LA Dodgers are 2-4 SU in their last 6 games when playing on the road against Milwaukee.
The total has gone OVER in 6 of Milwaukee's last 7 games against LA Dodgers.

Prediction
The Dodgers scored 4 runs again in the second game of the series but this time weren't enough to beat the Brewers as they lost 5-4 in extra innings. For this game the Dodgers will send Tony Gonsolin to the mound who's back in form and has allowed only 1 run in his last 11.2 innings pitched. Eric Lauer will start for the Brewers who's having a good season but was pounded by the Dodgers the last time he faced them. Expect a close game as both starters should be good on the mound. Take the under.
