Milwaukee Brewers vs Los Angeles Dodgers

Milwaukee Brewers at Los Angeles Dodgers (2026-08-13). Shane Drohan vs Roki Sasaki at UNIQLO Field at Dodger Stadium.

Starters — Shane Drohan enters with a 3.87 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, and 93 innings, backed by 9.0 K/9, 2.71 BB/9, and 0.87 HR/9. His last three starts were uneven: 5 IP, 6 ER, 4 K, 4 BB on August 7; 6 IP, 2 ER, 7 K, 1 BB on July 31; and 6 IP, 5 ER, 6 K, 2 BB on July 24. The strikeout rate and home-run suppression are solid, but recent run prevention has been less stable, and his trend is up. Roki Sasaki has a 4.54 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, and 105 innings with 9.09 K/9, 3.43 BB/9, and 1.8 HR/9. His last three starts were strong: 6 IP, 2 ER, 5 K, 1 BB on August 7; 5.1 IP, 2 ER, 7 K, 3 BB on July 30; and 7 IP, 1 ER, 9 K, 2 BB on July 24. Sasaki has also shown an upward trend, with better recent command and run prevention, though the season-long home-run rate remains a notable risk.

Teams — Milwaukee brings a .731 OPS and 592 runs scored, with a .251 team average. The Brewers have also supported their pitching staff well, carrying a 3.53 team ERA and 1.17 WHIP, and they are 5-5 over their last 10 games. Los Angeles has the stronger offensive profile on the season with a .768 OPS, 606 runs, and a .261 average. On the mound, the Dodgers sit at a 3.70 team ERA and 1.16 WHIP, while their recent form is slightly softer at 4-6 in the last 10. This matchup pairs Milwaukee’s steadier overall staff numbers against a Dodgers lineup that has been more productive across the full season.
