MIL @ LAD o7.5 (-105)
MIL @ LAD · 8:00 PM ET
Gasser's 1.06 ERA over his last 3 starts sits far below his 4.38 xERA over the same stretch, one of the largest earned-run/expected gaps you'll see, and this exact matchup has already punished him: a 4 ER/4.1 IP line on May 23 and a 3 ER/6.1 IP line on Aug 14 this season against LAD, a 6.18 ERA across those two meetings. MIL's offense is red-hot against lefties, 130 wRC+ over its last 6 vs LHP backed up by 126 over its last 12, a consistent heater against Snell, whose own last 3 starts have averaged just 2.9 IP/gs with one outing lasting only 1.0 inning. Both bullpens are carrying elevated 2-day stress (MIL 5.0 IP, LAD 5.3 IP over the last two days), so a lot of this game is going to be played by tired relievers behind short starters. The posted 7.5 sits a full run under the league's 8.7 average total, and the no-vig 49% on the over undervalues how exposed both clubs' middle relief is tonight.
