#953/954 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Under 7.5 Runs – LA Dodgers vs Milwaukee Brewers, Thursday at 2:10 PM ET - We’ve had 3 low scoring games so far in this series and expect another here. These 2 have scored 16 total runs in 3 games in this series however 3 of those runs have come in extra innings. That means 13 runs scored in 3 games in regulation or barely 4 total runs per game. Minus the extra inning hits in game 2, these two have combined for just 28 total hits in 3 games. Milwaukee’s offense has been terrible over the last few weeks. Over their last 10 games their team batting average is .180 and they are averaging 2.8 RPG. As we stated in yesterday’s analysis (lost with LA run line despite Brewers scoring only 1 run – tough) the Brewers aren’t a great hitting team (23rd in batting average) so they rely heavily on HR’s to score. LA starter Heaney, who sports a 1.16 ERA on the season, has allowed 1 HR all year. He's also a lefty and Milwaukee really has problems vs south paws with a team batting average of .218 with is 29th in MLB. While LA came into this series red hot offensively, they’ve cooled off over their last 5 games with a batting average of only .216. In this series they are hitting just .192 over the first 3 games. Facing Milwaukee ace Burnes won’t help them here. He has a 2.39 ERA on the season and opponents are hitting .181 vs him. Both pitchers average right around 12 K’s per 9 innings which puts them near the top in that category. Two struggling offenses and lots of swings and misses today means another low scoring game. Under is the play.
