Milwaukee Brewers remains on the watchlist. Lab Rating 6.5/10: conviction 2.64, pitching plan 40, offense 22.35. Leo projects 60.3% against a 37.7% no-vig market number, a 22.6% model edge at +160. The starting pitcher matchup does not create a meaningful separation. Bullpen read: Neutral. Milwaukee Brewers's pen efficiency: Dominant (8.0/10). Bullpen fatigue moved this probability down 10.8 points from 71.1% (starting pitcher and team strength only) to 60.3%. Lineup check: Milwaukee Brewers is a touch below its season form (-0.026 OPS); Los Angeles Dodgers is in a cold stretch (-0.066 OPS).
Final result
Dodgers 4, Brewers 7
How the analysis held up
Milwaukee Brewers won, the side Leo's model favored.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto (No clear pitching-plan edge) was Leo's favored starter by pitcher score, but Logan Henderson actually pitched better tonight: 4.0 IP, 2 ER (4.50 ERA) against 2.2 IP, 3 ER (10.13 ERA). The edge did not show up in this game.
The Los Angeles Dodgers bullpen was not flagged pregame, but it had a night worth noting: 4 earned runs allowed over 5.1 relief innings (6.75 ERA) — quietly worse than the pregame read implied.
The Milwaukee Brewers bullpen was not flagged pregame, but it had a night worth noting: 0 earned runs allowed over 5.0 relief innings (0.00 ERA) — quietly better than the pregame read implied. Note: 2 of the runs charged to the Milwaukee Brewers pitching staff overall were unearned — not something the bullpen's stuff should be blamed for.

Bullpen matchup
Full Bullpen Fatigue Index →Risk is what the model actually uses: fatigue blended with how well the pen has pitched. High fatigue with high efficiency is a tired pen that is still getting outs.
| Metric | Dodgers | Brewers |
|---|---|---|
| Fatigue | 5.2/10, Normal | 6.0/10, Normal |
| Efficiency | 8.2/10, Dominant | 8.0/10, Dominant |
| Combined risk | 3.6/10, Normal | 4.5/10, Normal |
| Relief innings, last 7 days | 9.3 | 14.7 |
| Back-to-back arms | 5 | 3 |
| 7-day ERA | 0.00 | 0.61 |
| 7-day WHIP | 0.86 | 0.75 |
Fatigue measures workload. Efficiency measures recent run prevention. Combined risk is what the moneyline and totals systems use.
