Analysis:
The Dodgers are playing host to the Milwaukee Brewers for a weekend series and took game one on Friday night with a 5 to 3 win. That win by the Dodgers extended their current winning streak to five games.
Both of these teams will be looking to improve their playoff chances as they do battle tonight. Each starterʼs record is below .500 on the season but the Dodgers Lowe has pitched well at home while Bush has struggled on the road with the exception of a win over Cincinnati on August 5th.
The Dodgers are 7-2 their last 9 overall and 12-3 at home including a perfect 7-0 their last 7. LA is 42-20 in their last 62 against the Brewers, 4-1 this year and 21-8 their last 29 when these two get together at Dodger Stadium including 11-3 the last 14.

Lowe is 2-1 with a 3.82 ERA in seven career appearances versus the Brewers, including a no-decision on May 18 in Milwaukee, where he allowed four runs on six hits in six innings as L.A. got the win 6 to 4. Bush faced the Dodgers twice back in 2006, going 1-1 with a 4.72 ERA, losing a 10 to 2 decision in the one start in Los Angeles.
