The Brewers walked into Chavez Ravine and did exactly what DarkHorse said they would—cover the +1.5 and make it look easy. Final score: 6-2, Milwaukee. Our pick? Cashed before the seventh-inning stretch.
Logan Henderson was every bit the ace we projected, carving through a lifeless Dodgers lineup that looked like they'd rather be anywhere else. That 2.88 ERA wasn't a typo—Henderson kept LA's bats silent when it mattered, validating the 1.21 ERA edge we hammered in the original write-up. Meanwhile, the Dodgers trotted out their overworked bullpen like lambs to slaughter. Eight games in seven days? You could see the fatigue in every hanging slider.
Milwaukee didn't need fireworks. They manufactured six runs the old-fashioned way—timely hitting, smart baserunning, and capitalizing on a Dodgers squad that's allowed 4.8 runs per game over their last 15. LA's recent 5-10 skid? Make that 5-11.
The +150 moneyline dogs didn't just cover—they won outright, turning that sweet-spot +1.5 into a laugher. When the pitching matchup screams value and the opposition is running on fumes, you ride it. DarkHorse called it. The Stable cashed it. On to the next one.
