Los Angeles at Milwaukee

Milwaukee closed out San Diego with a 3-1 win in Game 4 on Wednesday, and the Brewers had three days off to set up the NLCS opener exactly how they wanted. Jacob Misiorowski went 16-5 with a 1.80 ERA and a 0.80 WHIP over 30 starts, striking out 252 in 174.2 innings. His Division Series start lasted four innings and 88 pitches, and San Diego scored twice off him. The Dodgers saw the better version in August, when he held them to one run over six innings in a 4-1 Brewers win. Tarik Skubal gave Atlanta one run over six innings last week. Milwaukee has seen him too, scoring twice on seven hits against him over six innings on August 16 in a 6-2 win. The Brewers went 36-14 this season in games started by a lefty. They were 55-26 at home, and their staff finished with the second-best ERA in the majors at 3.51. The board has a 103-win team with the better starter by this season’s numbers, playing on its own field, priced as an even game. Back the Brewers on the moneyline tonight.
