10/15 Milwaukee vs LA Dodgers

Milwaukee starting pitcher: Robert Gasser LA Dodgers starting pitcher: Blake Snell

This is Game 3 of 7 at Dodger Stadium. Milwaukee is 1st at 64.0% with five straight wins, and the Dodgers are 2nd at 62.0% with three straight. Milwaukee leads the season series 6-3 and won the last two games, 2-1 and 7-4.

The two starters point in opposite directions. Gasser's season ERA is 3.81 against a 4.27 FIP, so his results have been better than his process. His last five starts cover 26.2 innings with a 3.99 FIP, 0.83 WHIP and .141 opponent average, but his BABIP is .154 and he allowed 3 homers. His SwStr% of 10.9% and CSW% of 28% are slightly above his season marks of 9.9% and 26.8%, so not all of the recent run looks like process. His average velocity has held steady at 93.5, 93.6, 93.1, 93 and 93.6, with a 95.3 peak on October 8. Against the Dodgers this season he has 10.2 innings, a 5.91 ERA, a 6.09 FIP and 3 homers allowed. He took losses on August 15 (6.1 IP, 3 ER) and May 24 (4.1 IP, 4 ER). The sample is small, but the numbers are consistently poor.

Snell's 1.94 ERA and 1.92 FIP match closely. Over 46.1 innings he has a 15.5% SwStr%, 30.6% CSW%, 20.3% K-BB% and no home runs allowed. His last five starts (20.1 innings) show a 2.06 FIP, but also a 10.8% walk rate, 1.33 WHIP and .360 BABIP. He walked five in 3.2 innings against Atlanta on October 5. His velocity ran 96, 95.6, 94.5, 96.8 and 97, dipping on September 17 before recovering, with a recent peak of 98.2. He has not faced Milwaukee this season (0 innings).

Lineups are unconfirmed, so both are based on the previous game. Milwaukee hit .233/.327/.304 wOBA with 4 homers over its last five games. Contreras is the hottest bat at .400/.478/.500 wOBA with 2 homers, while Chourio (.190/.250/.208 wOBA) and Ortiz (.077/.077/.068 wOBA) are cold. The Dodgers are at .186/.269/.239 wOBA with 2 homers over the last five. Ohtani, who has 30 homers and a 142.7 wRC+ this season, is at .125/.263/.204 wOBA and is 0-for-6 against Gasser. Pages is 4-for-5, Edman 2-for-3, Hernandez 2-for-5 and Betts 1-for-6 against him. These are tiny samples.

Milwaukee's bullpen threw 14.7 innings recently with 6 pitchers available and has a 1.51 ERA over the last 10 games. The Dodgers' bullpen threw 12.7 innings with 9 available and has a 2.43 ERA. The weather is 25°C, 3 m/s wind and 0% chance of rain.

In summary, Snell has the stronger season-long process, and Gasser's record against the Dodgers is a concern. Whether Milwaukee's recent hitting and the Dodgers' slump change that is the key. Snell's walks and Milwaukee's heavier bullpen workload are also worth watching.
