Projection simulations suggest value on Milwaukee run line and Colorado money line as postseason and regular season action continues.
As the Los Angeles Dodgers attempt to avoid a 0-3 deficit in the 2026 NLCS, the betting market has installed them as -176 favorites for Wednesday's Game 3 against the Milwaukee Brewers, as CBS Sports first reported. However, the SportsLine Projection Model is diverging from that market sentiment, assigning an "A" grade to the Brewers +1.5 (-145) run line. CBS Sports reports that SportsLine simulations show Milwaukee covering that line in 73% of outcomes.
Los Angeles will start two-time Cy Young winner Blake Snell, who struggled in his NLDS start against Atlanta but dominated Milwaukee in the 2025 NLCS. Milwaukee will counter with rookie Robert Gasser, who is 0-2 with seven runs allowed in regular-season matchups against the Dodgers, per CBS Sports.
In the NHL, the Colorado Avalanche enter Wednesday as -137 favorites over the Dallas Stars following a 3-2 victory over Dallas on Tuesday.
Additionally, CBS Sports notes that the Washington Capitals are -120 favorites over the Montreal Canadiens. For that matchup, the SportsLine Projection Model is favoring the Over 6.5 (-115), with simulations predicting the total will hit over 61% of the time.
