Another losing season
The Angels (69-82) have dropped five straight and are near the bottom in nearly every major offensive and pitching category.

Starting Wednesday night will be José Soriano (10-10, 4.13 ERA), who has strikeout upside but ongoing control issues with 76 walks in 167.2 innings. Soriano’s struggles and the Angels’ overall pitching inconsistency have contributed heavily to their recent losing streak.
Best record in baseball
Milwaukee enters the game with the best record in baseball at 92-59 after routing the Angels 9-2 Tuesday, powered by All-Star Freddy Peralta’s dominant start and Christian Yelich’s 29th home run.
On the season, the Brewers rank amongst the league’s elite offensively and defensively. The Brewers average 5.11 runs per game (3rd), carry a .261 team batting average (3rd), and play quality defense with a 3.62 team ERA (2nd) and 1.23 WHIP (7th). They also boast an aggressive base-running attack with 155 stolen bases, second overall.
Woodruff (6-2, 3.32 ERA, 0.96 WHIP) takes the mound for Milwaukee, fresh off a strong limited season that featured 74 strikeouts against only 14 walks in 59.2 innings. Milwaukee’s bullpen ranks second-best in MLB with a 3.62 ERA and a core of reliable arms ready to support starter Brandon Woodruff.
Angels vs Brewers Predictions
Side Pick for Angels vs Brewers
- Brewers -1.5 (-115, 4 units)
Milwaukee holds a clear edge at American Family Field, where they’ve gone 50-28. Brandon Woodruff’s command and efficiency should neutralize the Angels’ inconsistent bats, while the Brewers’ bullpen provides a reliable cushion late
Offensively, the Brewers’ balance and patience at the plate pair well against an Angels staff prone to walks and breakdowns. With superior pitching depth, sharper defense, and the home-field boost, the Brewers are the play on the run line.
Total Pick for Angels vs Brewers
- Under 8.5 (3 units)
While the Brewers generate runs, Soriano’s command issues and the strong Milwaukee bullpen position this game well for a lower-scoring affair. Both teams have quality starting pitching, and with Milwaukee’s defensive strength, an under on the total runs is the best betting value.
First pitch is Wednesday night at American Family Field as Milwaukee seeks to tighten its grip on MLB’s best record and the Angels struggle to find answers on the road.
