Los Angeles Dodgers -1½ +115 over Milwaukee

American Family Field – Milwaukee, WI

MLB Playoffs – NLCS Game One

8:08 PM ET. If you’ve been around this racket long enough, you know when a number doesn’t make sense — and this one doesn’t. The Brewers have the best record in baseball, they just came back from the dead to beat the Cubs, and they’ve won eight straight against the Dodgers. They’re at home. They’re rested. They’re hot. So why is the market still giving the defending champs this kind of respect? Why are the Dodgers priced like the superior side, and even money to win by margin? Because the number is the truth. Not the chatter. Not the recency bias. The number.

Milwaukee’s run has been great theater, but let’s be real — the Cubs melted down more than the Brewers rose up. That series flipped because of bullpen implosions, bloop hits, and breaks that don’t travel. The Dodgers are not the Cubs. They don’t chase. They don’t panic. They don’t beat themselves. This is a roster built for October — experienced, cold-blooded, and relentless. You can make a case that Los Angeles looked a bit off in the NLDS, but that’s exactly what the market is punishing them for, and that’s our cue to step in.

The Dodgers are being offered at a discount because of what Milwaukee’s done lately, not because of what either team truly is. Los Angeles remains the better, deeper, more balanced outfit, and when you can back them at plus money to win by two or more, you don’t overthink it — you fire.
