BOTTOM LINE: The Los Angeles Dodgers aim to end their five-game home losing streak with a win over the Milwaukee Brewers. Los Angeles has gone 33-19 in home games and 58-41 overall. The Dodgers have a 39-16 record in games when they record at least eight hits.
Preview, lineups, and expert betting tips for the MLB clash between Los Angeles Dodgers vs Milwaukee Brewers on July 20, 2025.
The Brewers have been playing great baseball, but expecting them to sweep the Dodgers twice in one month is too much (L.A. is 33-19 at home). Will Smith has destroyed left-handed pitching (179 wRC+), and Shohei Ohtani has been adept at punishing pitchers of either hand, so both are likely to play a part if the Dodgers score runs in bunches.
