Brewers vs. Dodgers Prediction, MLB Picks for Saturday, August 15

The first pitch of the Milwaukee Brewers (75-48) vs. the Los Angeles Dodgers (74-48) is set for 7:15 p.m. ET on Saturday, August 15, televised by FOX. According to PrizePicks Team Picks, the Brewers are road favorites and return a 1.72x payout to win.

The Dodgers secured a much-needed win on Friday after blowing a ninth-inning lead in Thursday night’s matchup against the Brewers. L.A. got a stellar performance from SP Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who allowed just 1 earned run over 6 innings in the 3-1 win. This ties the series 1-1, but the Brewers may have the advantage today, as they start their ace Jacob Misiorowski.

Brewers vs. Dodgers Prediction, Winner Payout, Over/Under – Saturday, August 15

The Brewers will start their star SP Jacob Misiorowski (1.97 xFIP in 133.0 IP, 22 starts) in Saturday's matchup. The Miz has become one of MLB's biggest stories, as his explosive arm has elevated him to superstar status.

The National League Cy Young feels inevitable, as he leads the league in xERA (1.93), WAR (5.1), and barrel rate allowed (3.5%) among several other categories. His fastball has been record-setting, including one reaching 105.5 mph—the fastest ever recorded by a starter. That velocity has been consistent, proven by throwing the top 50 fastest pitches this season.

This will likely be his biggest test of the year, facing the back-to-back champions. In Game 3 of the NLCS against the Dodgers last season, Misiorowski allowed 2 runs (1 earned) and struck out 9 over 5.0 innings.

After Misiorowski, the rotation lacks depth, which could be a problem. There were rumors that Milwaukee tried to trade for former Tigers SP Tarik Skubal, who was dealt to the Dodgers. Instead, the club acquired Cardinals SP Dustin May, who is nowhere near Skubal’s level, with a 4.13 ERA this season.

The Dodgers will counter with Justin Wrobleski (4.20 xFIP in 120.1 IP, 20 appearances, 19 starts) in Saturday's matchup. 

Last season, Wrobleski made 1 start in April, got lit up for 8 earned runs, and was sent to the bullpen for the rest of the season. He got another chance early this season, excelled, and has never looked back. He’s been irreplaceable for the Dodgers’ rotation amid the injuries to SP Blake Snell and SP Tyler Glasnow. 

He’s hit a rough patch recently, posting a 9.88 ERA and allowing 9 home runs over his last 3 starts.

The Dodgers as a whole have hit a tough stretch. They are coming in losing 9 of their last 14 games. Since July 31, they have ranked 22nd in runs scored (48) and 24th in ERA (4.80). 

Los Angeles has seen misfortune during this time, including Thursday's matchup against the Brewers. It had a 2-run lead in the ninth, but closer Edwin Diaz could not secure the save, gave up 3 runs, and the Dodgers lost a heartbreaker, 5-4.

Luckily, the Dodgers still have a sizable eight-game lead in the National League West and are still controlling their own destiny for a division title.
