Dodgers vs. Brewers: Pitching Matchup

Jacob Misiorowski, Milwaukee Brewers

Misiorowski's pitch count was HIGH in his Divisional Round start against the Padres as he tossed 88 pitches in just four innings, but he's been dominant from pillar to post this year so it's something we can look at and kind of just toss out of the window. The Miz faced the Dodgers already once this year and fired six innings of one-run ball while striking out six.

DraftKings CPT: $19,500 | DraftKings UTIL: $13,000

Tarik Skubal, Los Angeles Dodgers

There is a big-time ceiling for the Dodgers ace considering the Brewers were below league average against lefties this year. They posted a 97 wRC+ and struck out 21.2% of the time. Skubal dominated the Braves and three times in his last four starts he put up 27+ DKP and nearly had a 40 DKP ceiling to boot.

Dodgers vs. Brewers Preview: Key Players to Watch

Jackson Chourio, OF (Brewers)

Shohei Ohtani, 1B/OF (Dodgers)

Ohtani has struggled at the dish since returning from injury but he still rated out as the Dodgers best hitter against righties. Ohtani had an .893 OPS, .227 ISO, and 140 wRC+ against them this season.

DraftKings CPT: $13,500 | DraftKings UTIL: $9,000 | FanDuel MVP: $19,200 | FanDuel UTIL: $12,800

Mookie Betts, SS (Dodgers)

Right-handed hitters have had better success against the Miz than lefties and by success I mean there's barely been any but it's been more for them. Betts has been dominant in September hitting .337 with 7 HR and a 1.112 OPS.

DraftKings CPT: $12,300 | DraftKings UTIL: $8,200 | FanDuel MVP: $10,200 | FanDuel UTIL: $6,800

Freddie Freeman, 1B (Dodgers)

Freddie Freeman is a postseason legend and he showed that off in the last series against the Braves homering in two of his last three games of the series. Freeman has a 135 wRC+ against righties this year while posting an .850 OPS.

DraftKings CPT: $11,700 | DraftKings UTIL: $7,800 | FanDuel MVP: $15,600 | FanDuel UTIL: $8,000

William Contreras, C (Brewers)

William Contreras has been really good this postseason and just lately in general slashing .306/.381/.556 with three bombs and nine runs batted in. Contreras has been a plus hitter against lefties posting a 108 wRC+ with a .760 OPS.

DraftKings CPT: $10,500 | DraftKings UTIL: $7,000 | FanDuel MVP: $13,500 | FanDuel UTIL: $9,000

Max Muncy, 3B (Dodgers)

Muncy does a LOT of damage against righties. A LOT. He's homered in three straight starts in the playoffs and actually lead the Dodgers with 22 HR vs. RHP. He was good against righty hurlers in general posting a .485 SLG%, .834 OPS, .236 ISO, and 128 wRC+.

DraftKings CPT: $11,400 | DraftKings UTIL: $7,600 | FanDuel MVP: $12,900 | FanDuel UTIL: $7,000

Gary Sanchez, C (Milwaukee Brewers)

The one thing Gary Sanchez does well at this point is hit lefties/ During the regular season, he reached base 37% of the time with an .801 OPS, .198 ISO, and 124 wRC+. He'll probably be pinch hit for when a righty comes in but we should see Sanchez get multiple at-bats against Skubal.
