After back-to-back wins in this series — including an 8–7 thriller on Saturday — Milwaukee has now taken all five meetings against L.A. this season.
The Dodgers, meanwhile, have dropped nine of their last 11 games, and their once-dominant NL West lead has shrunk considerably. With Clayton Kershaw on the mound, L.A. hopes to salvage the finale and avoid a second consecutive home sweep.
Starting Pitchers – July 20, 2025
| Team | Pitcher | Record | ERA | WHIP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brewers | José Quintana (LHP) | 6–3 | 3.28 | 1.36 |
| Dodgers | Clayton Kershaw (LHP) | 4–1 | 3.38 | 1.24 |
- José Quintana has been solid but is due for regression, with a 4.41 xERA and 4.80 xFIP. His Stuff+ rating ranks 112th out of 113 qualified starters, suggesting limited pitch arsenal.
- Clayton Kershaw has a 6–1 team record in his last seven starts and held Milwaukee to two earned runs over six innings in his last outing.
