Angels vs Brewers Prediction
The Brewers are 6-2 in their last 8 meetings against the Angels, and are 4-2 in their last 6 meetings Milwaukee. Under is 5-3-1 in their last 9 meetings.
In this Angels vs Brewers Prediction, the Brewers are coming as -185 home favorites. The Brewers are dominating the Angels in this series, having won both games with a combined 18-4 score. They are putting Priester on the mound, who has a stellar 11-2 record, and has been in good form lately, with a 2.25 ERA across his last 5 starts. On the flip side, Kikuchi has been terrible on the road for the Angels, with a 5.16 road ERA, and struggling mightily lately, with a 1-4 record and 7.30 ERA in his last 5 starts. Milwaukee has the third-best offense in baseball, and the Angels the third-worst bullpen ERA. I expect another dominating win by the hosts, so take the Milwaukee Brewers on the moneyline in this one.
