Los Angeles Dodgers vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction, Odds and NLCS Game 2 Picks for Today, 10/14/25

Looking to spark their offense, the Milwaukee Brewers find themselves down 1-0 in the NLCS after a 2-1 loss to the Dodgers in Game 1. Blake Snell turned in a strong pitching performance for the Dodgers, and now the Brewers hope ace right-hander Freddy Peralta can deliver the same type of performance to even this series before heading to Los Angeles. 

In two postseason starts, Freddy Peralta has had his ups and downs, going 1-1 with a 4.66 ERA across 9.2 innings. He’ll need to be careful against this Dodgers lineup that’s averaging 4.7 runs per game this postseason. Los Angeles will counter with Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who’s 1-1 with a 2.53 ERA in two playoff starts. Offensively, the Brewers are averaging 3.8 runs per game this postseason – well below their seasonal average of 5.0. 

If Peralta struggles a bit early on, I’m not too worried about this game getting out of hand. Milwaukee’s bullpen has been dominant this postseason, posting a 1.42 ERA through the playoffs. The one thing the Brewers need to do in this game is get to Yamamoto early on and make him throw a ton of pitches. The Dodgers bullpen has been their weakest link all season, and in the postseason, they hold a 5.91 bullpen ERA. Taking everything into consideration, the Brewers will be in a good position to even this series at one before they head to Los Angeles for Game 3.
