LOS ANGELES DODGERS (23-19) AT MILWAUKEE BREWERS (22-20)
The Los Angeles Dodgers, who have lost nine of their last ten, are in Milwaukee for the final series of their nine-game road trip. They have looked like the LA Dodgers of 2003, scoring only 2.6 runs per game in their last ten. This will be my first look at the Brewers in person tonight, so I look forward to seeing them get 3 games over .500 for the first time this season.
