  • The Dodgers are -175 favorites in Game 3.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have a 2-0 series lead when they return home to face the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 3 of the NLCS at 6:08 p.m. ET on Thursday at Dodger Stadium on TBS.

The Dodgers continue to cruise in their quest to become the first back-to-back champions since 2000. They are 7-1 this postseason, including a 2-1 win over the Brewers in Game 1 and a 5-1 victory in Game 2.

Los Angeles is a huge favorite to win the NLCS and is favored to take care of business on Thursday.

Hereโ€™s a look at the latest MLB odds and my Brewers vs. Dodgers prediction ahead of Game 3:

Brewers vs. Dodgers Prediction for Game 3

Based on the initial MLB betting lines, I like the under on 1.5 hits, runs, and RBIs for Andy Pages as my favorite Brewers vs. Dodgers prediction in Game 3 of the NLCS on Thursday.

Pages finally found some success at the plate in Game 2, driving in a run on a double. That has set up an opportunity to fade him in the following contest, as this same under costs as much as -175 on Tuesday.

This postseason, Pages has two hits, one run, and one RBI in eight games. Heโ€™s only cleared this prop twice.

Pages hit .272 with 86 RBIs and 74 runs in 156 games during the regular season. There are reasons to be optimistic about his potential, but heโ€™s hitting at the bottom of this lineup for a reason, and that leads to fewer opportunities.

Milwaukee hasnโ€™t announced its starter for Game 3, but right-hander Jacob Misiorowski could be given the ball. The rookie hurler ranks in the 99th percentile with an average fastball velocity of 99.3 miles per hour, according to Baseball Savant.

I’ll bank on Pages struggling against the hard-throwing righty on Thursday.

Prediction: Andy Pages under 1.5 hits, runs, and RBIs (-140)
