The Los Angeles Dodgers have every right to be extremely frustrated with how the season has played out, as they are not only behind the Giants in the division, but they are getting relegated to second place despite the fact that they are reeling off huge wins every week. This has to be a gut punch.
The blows kept coming against the Milwaukee Brewers, as the NL Central champions and a potential NLCS opponent saw the Dodgers lose the heart and soul of their team in Clayton Kershaw thanks to an injury.
Even with that spot of bad luck, look for the Dodgers to come out guns blazing in this game, as they can’t afford more mistakes in their quest to potentially unseat the Giants in the NL West.
Will the Dodgers keep their improbable shot at winning the division alive? Or will they have to settle for the Wild Card?

Dodgers Pitcher Today
Julio Urias (19-3, 3.01) will try to continue his excellent season on the mound today for Los Angeles. If Urias gets the win, he will be the first pitcher in the National League to win 20 games since Scherzer did it with the Nationals in 2016.
Milwaukee will counter with a Cy Young contender in Corbin Burnes (11-4, 2.29). Burnes’ ERA+ of 185 is the NL’s best, as is his walk rate, home run rate, and strikeouts per nine innings rate. Burnes’ FIP of 1.55 would be the seventh-best mark of all-time and the best tally since the introduction of the designated hitter.

Dodgers vs Brewers Prediction Today
The Dodgers will have a mountain to climb in this one, as taking down a pitcher like Burnes is no easy task. However, this lineup understands the gravity of the situation, and they should be more than capable of getting just enough timely hits to make the Brewers falter.
