Angels vs Brewers Prediction
Those who have followed along over the years know I’m not in the business of backing the Angels. I fade this team often as they’re one of the worst franchises in all of sports. Miss me with Johnson as well, as he has a 7.34 ERA and 1.54 WHIP on the season. Johnson has allowed 19 hits and 14 earned runs in his last 17.1 innings. No thanks. The Brewers win games they’re supposed to win, and Drohan is trustworthy, especially on the road where he has a 3.16 ERA. Give me the Brewers and the RL for max betting value. I’m not touching the Angels at all, especially with this pitching matchup. Yuck.
