Milwaukee Brewers vs LA Angels Prediction

I’m on the Angels here. I think the Brewers are the better team over the course of a full season, but I just don’t know if I’m ready to back Carlos Rodriguez on the road just yet. He’s a highly regarded prospect in the Brewers’ system, but Soriano’s been one of the better options in the Angels’ rotation, and this price looks a bit funky. Maybe someone knows something. Not rushing to bet this one, but I’ll side with the Angels in this one.
