LA Angels vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction
You can make a strong case for the LA Angels and the plus money at home because Jose Soriano has been solid this season. However, Tobias Myers has been equally good, and he’s got the better team behind him in the Brewers. I simply need more bang for my buck to pull the trigger with the Angels. If the prices are almost the same, I’m going to side with the better team almost every time. Give me the Brewers and the cheap price.
