Verdict
Tyler Glasgow gets the nod for a desperate Los Angeles team, and he has been in outstanding form in the playoffs so far.
However, his one weakness is walks – he has given up a bunch of them – and this Brewers team have been ruthless in punishing the Dodgers’ mistakes in the playoffs so far.
Milwaukee also boast an excellent record against LA this season, so give us the plus-money.
