MLB Odds: Dodgers Can Win ALCS Friday Versus Brewers

The Los Angeles Dodgers’ haven’t put on a commanding performance so far this postseason, but they can secure back-to-back National League pennants this Friday when they visit the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 6 of the NLCS. First pitch is at 8:39 PM ET on Fox Sports 1; Hyun-Jin Ryu (1.97 ERA) is projected to start for Los Angeles opposite Wade Miley (2.57 ERA).


Ryu has been the most valuable Dodger this year – on a per-game basis. He missed half the season with a groin injury, but still managed to earn 1.96 betting units on a team record of 10-5 before leading LA to victory in both his postseason starts. Miley also missed two months with an oblique issue; the Brewers went 12-4 during his 16 regular-season starts for a profit of 9.11 units, but lost 4-3 to Ryu and the Dodgers in Game 2 despite 5.2 innings of shutout ball from Miley.

The Brewers got some bad news on Wednesday when Gio Gonzales (4.21 ERA) had to be taken off Milwaukee’s NLCS roster with a high left ankle sprain. Gonzales hurt himself during the second inning of Game 4, and will not be eligible to play in the World Series should Milwaukee advance.
