Free MLB Pick
We’re going to take a flyer on the Brewers who have put together a mini win streak with the change in dugout. The Dodgers have a good enough starter on the mound in Zack Grienke, but he has yet to win in three career starts against the Brewers and the Brew Crew is hitting .306 lifetime against him.
