Milwaukee are tipped to follow up last night’s win with another small upset at home.
The Brewers were able to shut down the Dodgers bats in a narrow Game 1 win, and they have an opportunity to do that again with Logan Henderson getting the start.
Henderson has been outstanding against Los Angeles this season – giving up very little – and that makes him an ideal counter to Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
