MLB Best Bets, Predictions & Expert Picks Wednesday, October 14, 2026

The Dodgers are laying 1.5 runs in a game the model projects as essentially even. Its final spread has Milwaukee winning by 0.1 runs, which makes the current number look inflated toward Los Angeles. That is exactly the kind of playoff pricing gap worth attacking. Take the extra run and a half with the Brewers. Both teams finished strong, with Los Angeles and Milwaukee each going 8 and 2 over their last 10 games. So this isn't a bet against a struggling Dodgers team. It's a bet that Milwaukee has been consistently undervalued in this matchup. The Brewers have also won five straight, and they lead the season series 6 to 3 while holding an average margin of plus 0.4 runs against Los Angeles. Those head to head results matter when the market is charging a premium for the Dodgers name. The pitching matchup doesn't create a major separation either. Blake Snell owns a stellar 1.90 ERA and a 1.39 mark recently, but Robert Gasser has posted a 1.37 ERA in his recent stretch despite a 3.87 season figure. Milwaukee scores 5.1 runs per game compared with 4.9 for Los Angeles, while the Dodgers allow 2.4 and the Brewers allow 3.0. That points to a competitive game, not a runaway. Los Angeles covering only 40% of its home games adds another reason to grab the points. Milwaukee covers 49% on the road. The model says this line is wrong. Trust it.

The public sees the Dodgers at home with Blake Snell on the mound and assumes a comfortable win. But Los Angeles has covered only 40% at home, and the model makes this game virtually even. Milwaukee's five game winning streak and 6 and 3 record against the Dodgers this season tell a different story.
