Betting Picks for Dodgers at Brewers

Jackson Chourio to Record 2+ Total Bases (+110)

Jackson Chourio is in a superb spot today against Clayton Kershaw.

Kershaw is mostly running on fumes this season, registering a 4.45 SIERA and a lowly 17.5% strikeout rate. Right-handed hitters have gotten to him for a 40.2% hard-hit rate and 1.35 home runs per nine innings.

Chourio is slaughtering lefties this season to the tune of a .432 wOBA and 39.0% hard-hit rate. Kershaw is a great matchup for him, and once Kershaw is out of the game, Chourio can have success versus a Dodgers bullpen that is 28th in xFIP over the last 30 days (4.46).

First Five Innings Over 4.5 Runs (-102)

Opposite of Kershaw tonight is rookie phenom Jacob Misiorowski. I already laid out Kershaw's meh numbers, and while Misiorowski has certainly dazzled with his electric stuff, there are reasons to back the Dodgers' offense against him, which puts me on this bet.

Misiorowski can definitely miss bats -- as evidenced by his 12.1% swinging-strike rate and 28.0% K rate -- but he also owns a 13.3% walk rate and 45.5% fly-ball rate. He's issued multiple walks in three of his four outings, and free passes have been a big issue for him at every stop of his minor league career. LA's offense can exploit that as they boast the second-highest walk rate (9.5%).

Facing one of the game's elite offenses, Misiorowski should run into some trouble today, and when you couple that with Milwaukee's offense being in a smash spot, I am bullish on these lineups producing at least five runs in the first five frames.
