Dodgers vs. Brewers Player Props: MLB Picks & Best Bets for NLCS Game 1

The stage has been set for the NLCS, featuring a David vs. Goliath matchup between the Milwaukee Brewers and the Los Angeles Dodgers. My Dodgers vs. Brewers player props help project how this story will unfold in Game 1 when the action gets underway from American Family Field in Milwaukee at 8:08 p.m. ET (TBS).

Despite ranking 22nd among all MLB teams in total payroll, the Brewers posted the best record in baseball this year. They are underdogs in this matchup against the Dodgers, who are World Series odds favorites to defend their title with the highest payroll in the sport.

Your rooting interest should be clear for this matchup. But above all else, we root for winning tickets. Let’s dive into tonight’s MLB picks for Game 1, and you can get a jump on the evening's action with our Mariners vs. Blue Jays ALCS Game 2 prediction.

⬇️  Andy Pages Under 1.5 hits, runs, and RBIs (-125) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Andy Pages’ final swing of the bat clinched an NLDS victory for the Dodgers, though that was entirely due to an error by Orion Kerkering. Pages has had a poor postseason, recording one hit and one run in six games. He’s only cleared this prop once so far.

I project a lower-scoring battle on Monday, which is why there is value in some Unders. In this case, the BAT X’s model projects 1.66 hits, runs, and RBIs, suggesting solid value on this Under at -130 or better.

⬇️  Tommy Edman Under 1.5 hits, runs, and RBIs (-115) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sticking with my Under them for this game, I will fade the same prop for Tommy Edman. This ticket costs as much as -125 in the market, indicating the bargain at bet365 for a $10 bet to cash $8.70.

Edman has cleared this prop in three of his five playoff games, but projections indicate he won’t do so on Monday. The BAT X’s model projects 1.49 hits, runs, and RBIs for Edman in Game 1. 

I’m betting on the Brewers’ run prevention to set the tone in the opener.

🍺  William Contreras to hit a home run (+560) ⭐⭐

The Brewers and Dodgers both ranked in the top three in runs scored this season, but they got there in different ways. Los Angeles was second in home runs with 244, while Milwaukee was 22nd with 166 blasts.

During a 3-2 series victory over the Chicago Cubs, the Brewers delivered timely home runs. That’s what I’m counting on in this series, starting in Game 1.

Milwaukee catcher William Contreras hit two homers in the NLDS, including a solo shot in Game 5. Ballpark Pal gives him the highest chance of going deep among all Milwaukee players on Monday, so I’ll back him in this market with a +560 flier.
