The Dodgers host the Brewers with James Paxton (7-2, 4.28 ERA and WHIP 1.41) and Freddy Peralta (6-4, ERA 3.83, and WHIP 1.13) taking the mound. Paxton has the better win percentage but Peralta beats him in all other categories. Peralta has 120 SO, tied for 6th best in the MLB, compared to Paxton's dismal 53. On top of this, Paxton has struggled considerably in his last 7 starts, going 2-2 with a 6.32 ERA and 1.47 WHIP, pitching 31.1 innings. Pitching struggles have plagued the Dodgers as a team the past 15 days, having the 7th-worst ERA and WHIP and the 6th-lowest SO total in the MLB. Offensively both teams have been doing what they have all season being one of the best-hitting teams in baseball. Therefore, expect pitching to be the difference maker in this one, with the Brewers ending up on top.
