Milwaukee Brewers vs LA Angels Prediction

I’m on the over here. The Angels have started to figure it out offensively in recent weeks, and I think they can do some damage against Tobias Myers who, while showing some nice signs in recent starts, has had inconsistencies throughout a lot of the season and I think those inconsistencies could rear their ugly head here as well. On the other side, the Brewers have been consistent at the dish, and should be able to do some damage against Canning and this Angels bullpen which has one of the highest ERAs in the month of June of any relief staff. Give me the over here.
