Los Angeles Dodgers at Milwaukee Brewers

MILWAUKEE (Interstat) — The Los Angeles Dodgers, leading the National League West with a 31-19 record, visit American Family Field on Saturday to face the Milwaukee Brewers (29-18) in the second game of a three-game series. First pitch is at 7:10 p.m. CDT under cloudy skies and 58 degrees.

Right-hander Roki Sasaki (2-3, 3.86 ERA) is scheduled to start for the Dodgers. Sasaki has allowed three earned runs or fewer in five of his seven starts this season. He will be opposed by left-hander Kyle Harrison (5-0, 1.17 ERA), who has been dominant for the Brewers, striking out 41 batters in 38⅓ innings.

The Brewers won Friday’s series opener 5-1, snapping the Dodgers’ four-game winning streak. Los Angeles had swept a three-game series at San Diego earlier in the week, outscoring the Padres 9-1.

Shohei Ohtani is a player to watch for the Dodgers. The two-way star has been productive at the plate and on the mound in recent games. Over his last five starts as a pitcher, Ohtani has a 0.00 ERA with 20 strikeouts in 26 innings. In his last seven games as a hitter, he is batting .333 (10-for-30) with two home runs and 10 RBIs. On May 20 against San Diego, Ohtani pitched five scoreless innings and also went 1-for-4 with a home run.

For Milwaukee, Harrison has been equally impressive. In his last start Wednesday at Chicago, he pitched seven scoreless innings, allowing two hits and striking out 11 in a 5-0 win. Harrison has not allowed an earned run in 26 innings over his last four starts, striking out 30.

The Dodgers’ lineup also includes Teoscar Hernández, who hit a home run and drove in two runs in Wednesday’s win. Milwaukee’s offense has been powered by David Hamilton, who went 3-for-4 with an RBI in the series opener.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, the projected final score is Los Angeles 8, Milwaukee 7. The Dodgers are a -1.5 favorite on the run line, and the over/under is set at 9. Interstat’s ELO system gives Los Angeles a 51 percent probability of winning.

After Saturday’s game, the teams meet again Sunday afternoon before the Dodgers return home to host Colorado on Monday. Milwaukee welcomes St. Louis on Monday.
