It looks to be another good pitching matchup today when the Dodgers visit the Brewers in Game 2 of the NLCS I was thinking today's story on Game 2 of the NLCS between the Dodgers and Brewers in Milwaukee was going to be about how the hitters on both sides are probably thrilled to not have to face former/future Cy Young winners in Tarik Skubal or Jacob Misiorowski, as they did in Game 1. Then I realized the pitchers for today's Game 2 are pretty good, too, with Yoshinobu Yamamotoof the Dodgers facing off against Milwaukee'sLogan Henderson, so I'm not expecting many offensive explosions.Bet $5+ on today's MLB Playoffs matchups to get $200 in bonus bets at DraftKings Sportsbook: It's a 5 p.m. ET first pitch, so the good folks in Brewtown might have to cut out of work early, and FOX has the telecast. The weather looks comfortable, so the roof could be open at American Family Field. It was for Game 1 – which the Brewers won 2-1. At -137 via DraftKings, the Dodgers are taking 89% of handle and 77% of bets. There's a decent lean on Under 6.5. Fans can tryMLB bettingon thebest sports betting appsand get bonuses.
