It's uncertain how long the Dodgers will keep Betts batting first, but it is believed that manager Dave Roberts will continue to have it that way until Max Muncy returns from a knee bruise (h/t Sonja Chen of MLB.com).
The Brewers have been playing great baseball, but expecting them to sweep the Dodgers twice in one month is too much (L.A. is 33-19 at home). Will Smith has destroyed left-handed pitching (179 wRC+), and Shohei Ohtani has been adept at punishing pitchers of either hand, so both are likely to play a part if the Dodgers score runs in bunches.
