00:00Clayton Kershaw gets yet another stork tonight on the road in Milwaukee against the Brew Crew,

00:08the Dodgers an ever so slight favorite. Minus 1-12 on that money line, total is eight.

00:13What do you like in the opener between the Dodgers and the Brewers?

00:17To be honest, this is going to be interesting because you do see LA as a favorite. They're

00:20primarily a favorite each and every time. You just see the name Clayton Kershaw like,

00:23oh that's good, Freddy Peralta not as good as Clayton Kershaw. But the questions certainly

00:26come up on how good Clayton Kershaw is going to be down the stretch for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

00:31But I see that eight number here and I really want to go over. Forget about what Kershaw has

00:35actually done on the field. Only 61 batters he's faced so far this season. Let's go down and take

00:40a look at the lineup here for the Milwaukee Brewers. Outside of Contreras and Adamas,

00:44who are very good hitters, they've struggled against left-handed pitching over the past 30

00:48days. The rest of that lineup, Ben? Churio, .553 weighted on base percentage. Hoskins, .405.

00:53Sanchez, .342. Perkins, .454. Ortiz, .353. Freilich, .403. And Monteserio, .442. Now,

01:01of course, you want to focus on, say, how many runs we're going to get out of the Dodgers.

01:04And in the focus of the lineup today, expected to be back? I'm showing movie bets in the lineup.

01:10So we go with Tawny, Betts, Freeman, Hernandez, Smith, Lux, Rojas, Kiermaier, Hernandez. Two

01:15really good looking lineups. And if Betts is back in, we are going to get over eight runs in this

01:19game. Forget about Assad taking a coin flip. If Kershaw can bounce back, those two lineups

01:23should be ready to go tonight in Milwaukee.
