The Brewers turn to their ace right-hander Corbin Burnes to try to salvage a split in this 4-game series against the visiting LA Dodgers this afternoon. Last years Cy Young Award winner, Corbin Burnes Burnes (8-5, 2.39 ERA) will be opposed by the Dodgers left-hander Andrew Heaney (1-0, 1.16).

Heaney has never faced the Brew Crew and has not pitched more than 4 2/3 innings in any of his past 4 starts but he has allowed just 3 earned runs over that time. In Heaney’s last outing against the Royals on Saturday he gave up 2 runs on 3 hits in 3 innings. Corbin Burnes has a 2.47 ERA with 57 strikeouts and 13 walks in 43 2/3 innings over his past 7 starts and in his latest start he allowed just 1 run in 7 innings but did not get the decision on Saturday against the Cardinals. Burnes is 1-1 with a 10.38 ERA in 4 career appearances the Dodgers. This is the last game of a 7 game road trip for LA and puts the Brewers in a good spot with the early game on their home field.

The Brewers are 5-0 in their last 5 when their opponent allows 2 runs or less in their previous game.

The Over is 6-2 in the last 8 meetings.
