Brewers vs Angels Prediction

The Brewers have won their last six meetings against the Angels, including their last three visits in Los Angeles.

In this Brewers vs Angels Prediction, the Brewers are coming as -120 road favorites. I like the Brewers in this one as they have been the superior team and Gasser has been in good form, having given up two runs or less in three of his last four starts. Soriano has been in better shape lately for the Angels, but they have a bottom-10 bullpen and their offense has been struggling lately with just 3.2 runs per game in their last 10. Take the Brewers to win this one on the road.
