Dodgers vs Brewers Prediction 14 August 2026
📡 The Dodgers open a home stand against a team boasting the better record in this matchup. Milwaukee arrive at 74-47, while Los Angeles, fresh off a 5-4 win over Kansas City, have climbed to 73 victories. However, the Brewers come into town on the back of a three-game skid in San Diego, with their latest defeat coming in the 11th inning. On the mound, the visitors hold the edge in ERA, meaning the Dodgers will need to rely on their offense and home-field advantage to offset that gap.

Milwaukee Brewers Team Overview
The Brewers still boast the best record this season, but they arrive in Los Angeles riding a three-game losing streak. On Wednesday, they dropped another close contest, falling 4-3 in 11 innings, and managed to convert just two of their 15 opportunities with runners in scoring position. This slump at the plate is becoming a key storyline ahead of a series against an opponent more than capable of capitalizing on missed chances.

⚾ Starting Pitchers
Roki Sasaki gets the nod for the Dodgers-he’s 5-5 this season with a 4.54 ERA and 106 strikeouts. His tendency to give up runs remains the biggest concern for the home side. Los Angeles need Sasaki to deliver at least five solid innings and keep Milwaukee from jumping out to an early lead.
Shane Drohan takes the mound for the Brewers, entering with a 6-4 record, a 3.87 ERA, and 93 strikeouts. He holds the edge over Sasaki in ERA, giving Milwaukee a slight advantage on paper. Still, the Dodgers have already found success against the Brewers’ pitching staff in their May series and boast enough lineup depth to keep applying pressure as the game progresses.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
The opening pitching matchup slightly favors Milwaukee, and the Brewers’ overall season record can’t be overlooked. Still, Milwaukee come into this series on the back of three straight defeats, while the Dodgers have just edged a close game and now enjoy home-field advantage. Los Angeles also hold a 6-4 edge in the last 10 head-to-head meetings, including two wins out of three this season. The main concern is Sasaki’s 4.54 ERA compared to Drohan’s 3.87, but if the Japanese right-hander can keep Milwaukee within reach, the Dodgers’ offensive depth and bullpen should become decisive factors late on. The editorial pick: Los Angeles Dodgers to win.
