Milwaukee Brewers vs Los Angeles Dodgers

Milwaukee Brewers at Los Angeles Dodgers (2026-08-14). Robert Gasser vs Yoshinobu Yamamoto at UNIQLO Field at Dodger Stadium.

Starters — Gasser has a 4.57 ERA and 1.22 WHIP across 67 innings, with 8.19 K/9, 2.42 BB/9, and 1.48 HR/9. His last three starts were 4.2 innings with 3 earned runs, 5 innings with 1 earned run, and 6 innings with 2 earned runs. The recent form is labeled down, and the home run rate is the main concern. Yamamoto brings a 2.65 ERA and 0.89 WHIP over 139.1 innings, with 8.2 K/9, 2.07 BB/9, and 0.97 HR/9. His last three starts were 5.2 scoreless innings, 8 innings with 3 earned runs, and 6 innings with 1 earned run. His trend is also marked down, but the full-season profile remains elite because of the WHIP, workload, and damage control.

Teams — Milwaukee enters with a .730 OPS, 597 runs scored, a .251 average, and a staff 3.53 ERA with a 1.16 WHIP. The Brewers are 6-4 over their last 10, which supports a generally steady recent stretch. Los Angeles has a .766 OPS, 610 runs scored, a .260 average, and a team 3.71 ERA with a 1.17 WHIP. The Dodgers have been slightly better at the plate than Milwaukee by OPS and runs, while Milwaukee holds the edge in team run prevention. Los Angeles is 4-6 in its last 10, so current form is less convincing than the season-long offensive baseline.
