Brewers vs Angels Prediction
The Brewers have won their last five meetings against the Angels and their last two visits in Los Angeles.
In this Brewers vs Angels Prediction, the Brewers are coming as -165 road favorites. I like the Brewers in this one, simply as a fade against a struggling Angels team that has won only once in its last seven games. Drohan has been very good on the road for the Brewers with a 3.16 ERA, while Ryan Johnson has been terrible for the Angels with a 7.34 ERA and 1.54 WHIP. The Brewers also have both a better offense and a better bullpen and I expect them to get the job done in this one.
