Prediction

Clayton Kershaw enters the game with an 0-2 record and a 4.38 ERA. Despite his early struggles this season, Kershaw's history against Milwaukee is solid, holding a 3-0 record and a 3.16 ERA over his last five starts against the Brewers. Freddy Peralta will pitch for Milwaukee, bringing a 7-6 record with a 4.02 ERA and 155 strikeouts into the game. Given Kershaw's shaky start and the Brewers' strong form, Milwaukee might have the upper hand here, but Mookie Betts' return to the Dodgers' lineup could be enough of a boost to give Kershaw the early edge he needs.
